Richie McCormack

And you're very welcome along to the final whistle.

It's Richie McCormack here alongside Brian Kerr after we saw Nottingham Forest pull back a late goal to equalise against Newcastle at the City Grand this afternoon.

Elliot Anderson levelling the scores with three minutes to play after Harvey Barnes had prodded Newcastle in front with 16 to go.

Brian Kerr, it was like one of those games where even when it was at 0-0 you could never say it was boring.

It was actually really entertaining I think up until that point.

The goals really livened it up for that last 15 minutes or so.

Newcastle had a really good platform through Guy Maroiche, who had chances of his own of course, and Sandro Tonali in the centre of the park.

As we mentioned in the commentary, there's been a bit of speculation that one or both of those could go in the summer.

Newcastle probably in a position with PSR where they need to sell before they can buy.

Holding on to at least one of them is key for them.

If they lose two, it'll be really, really such a huge problem.

Yeah, it seems as if they weren't able to manoeuvre themselves properly in PSR stakes, and that's what's led to this position, whereby even the likes of Valtamata, who started today, it was his first start since that game against Sunderland when they lost to one of St James'.

And it's really hard to pinpoint anything that he did this afternoon.

Not going to say even negatively, but he really didn't get himself about enough and didn't really impose himself on the game.

play Arsenal this evening, this afternoon.

It's eight games unbeaten in the Premier League for Vitor Pereira and Forrest now, which this was his brief when he came in as their fourth manager of the season and he has done fantastically well to pull the nose up on this one because I would have pegged him as being a real relegation danger when he came in.

He's gotten eight games now without defeat.

They'd won their previous three before today.

They battled back to get a point when it looked against them as well this afternoon.

They course corrected in the first half when positionally and tactically they seem to have gotten it wrong again.
