🎧How bad is Forest's goal record?

The team at BBC Radio Nottingham's Shut Up And Show More Football podcast have been digging into the shooting stats for Forest this season.

Commentator Colin Fray has pointed to some alarming statistics and improving them could prove critical in the fight to stay in the Premier League.

Forest have had 89 shots at goal in their last five home Premier League games, scoring once.

Fray explained: "Do you count that as a chance? Most stats people would say no – there's a shot and a chance. The chance number will always be lower.

"But I think it always highlights the fact Forest are not converting opportunities in the game into chances.

"Yes it's about missing shots and chances if they are creating them but it's also about the chance to create more.

"The stats show where the problems have been this season. They have had a lot of problems on and off the pitch.

"They have 13 home goals in 14 Premier League games. Only one in the last five – the 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace. Within those five, 89 shots on goal, 19 of which on target. That's 70 off target across those five games and only one goal scored.

"One of the alarming stats – 13 home goals is the lowest in the league. With away goals added – 28 in total – it's the second lowest in the league.

"Even more alarming, of the 13 goals they have at home this season, nine have come in three games. Which means that across the other 11, they have only scored four. From 14 games, they have returned eight blanks. There are all sorts of stats that show where some of Forest's problems have been this season."
