Wasteful Nottingham Forest held at home as Wolves edge nearer Derby points total

Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche came under further pressure after his side were held to a 0-0 draw against rock-bottom Wolves.

Wolves were fortunate to escape, but they edged closer to Derby’s record low Premier League total of 11 points as they moved on to nine.

After watching West Ham and Leeds take points off Manchester United and Chelsea respectively on Tuesday, Forest needed to respond.

The former Wolves midfielder then went even closer in the 14th minute as he was picked out by Elliot Anderson, but he could not direct his header into the corner at the far post.

The hosts continued to dominate and, in the 30th minute, missed
