Nottingham Forest manager Billy Davies bemoans 'travesty' of result after his side are denied by battling Burnley Undaunted, Forest continued to press and were rewarded for such endeavour three minutes before the break when Jamie Paterson's delightful chip from the right was met at the far post by Simon Cox. It was no more than they deserved. The second half mirrored the first. Forest kept up the pressure while Burnley defended manfully and were dangerous on the break. Danny Ings went close with an angled drive before Darlow flung himself to his right to palm away a thunderbolt from Scott Arfield. In the closing moments, Heaton denied both Cox and Darius Henderson whilst substitute Nathaniel Chalobah's curling effort skimmed the crossbar. Did Heaton seem unduly rattled? No, and that was Forest's problem. For all their dominance, Burnley had as many efforts on target as the home side. "We played exceptionally well and should have had more than a point," Davies said. I was delighted with the performance. We played top of the league and had total dominance, nullifying them and restricting them to the odd attack. We deserved more for our efforts. Burnley manager Sean Dyche was happier. It's a tough place to come but we got a point and remain top of the league so it's hard to be disappointed - but, I like the fact there was a little disappointment in the dressing room. We lacked a little quality on the ball. We defended very well, however, and we haven't had to defend like that very often this season. We have limited resources, but we are doing very well for a squad of only 20 players. Billy Davies has speaking about his injuries ... I think today he was down to 32 players.
