Nottingham Forest lost yet again in the Championship at the weekend. Forest went down 2-1 to Sheffield Wednesday at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds headed into the match against Wednesday on the back of a 3-2 defeat to Fulham away from home at Craven Cottage.

It was going to be tough for Forest and it proved to be so, as Wednesday picked up all three points from the encounter.

Not many players from the home team did well, but former Forest midfielder Steve Hodge was impressed with the performance of Ben Brereton.

Hodge was following the match for BBC Radio Nottingham, and he praised the performance of the 17-year-old, who started the game and played for the entire 90 minutes.

Over the course of the 90 minutes at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon, hosts Forest had 57% of the possession, took seven shots of which three were on target, and earned one corner, according to BBC Sport.

Visitors Wednesday had 43% of the possession, took 10 shots of which five were on target, and earned four corners, according to BBC Sport.
