| Paul Hart continued his policy of using as many players as possible during the pre-season games. And it paid dividends again as Forest ran out 2-0 winners against an Indian National XI.
|
| |
| This really was a 'game of two halves' though. With the first-half, played by the younger and fresher graduates from Hart's academy, providing all the entertainment, chances and goals. Eugen Bopp, the 17-year-old ex-Bayern Munich midfielder, opened the scoring with a blistering long-range shot on 17 minutes. Jack Lester then provided the second on 32 minutes when he slammed home a cross from Jon Olav Hjelde.

| A completely different Forest side took the field for the second-half as the senior players came out to stake their claim for a first team place in the new season. Most may not be successful though as the second half provided very little in the way of excitement, entertainment or chances.

| |
| So far Forest have a 100% record in their pre-season friendlies, scoring 13 goals and conceding none.
|
| |
| The pre-season campaign continues on Wednesday evening when Forest entertain Southampton at The City Ground, K.O. 7:45pm.
