[場內] 諾定咸森林 vs 雷丁 (FT: 2-1)

經過失望的週中比賽，球隊在大好形勢下於足總盃第三圈重賽被伯明翰(Birmingham)淘汰出局，預計領隊將重召幾名重心球員主場迎戰雷丁(Reading)。安梳爾(Robert Earnshaw)復出伙拍布力史托(Dexter Blackstock)，根達(Chris Gunter)、梳利(Nicky Shorey)、威爾遜(Kelvin Wilson)、麥堅拿(Paul McKenna)、保羅‧安達臣(Paul Anderson)及馬捷維斯基(Radoslav Majewski)全部復任正選。

上半場一開賽，面對剛於週中足總盃激戰利物浦(Liverpool)120分鐘的雷丁，主隊已經控制戰局，幾個極流暢的組織，安梳爾傳予高漢(Chris Cohen)再橫傳後上的保羅‧安達臣射入領先。完上半場5分鐘，馬捷維斯基直線餵給走位配合的安梳爾，左腳再次射穿門將費達歷斯(Adam Federici)的十指關。原本主場可以擴大比數至三比零，可惜前鋒有力史托浪費一記單刀機會，將高漢的直線射斜。

下半場雷丁整體表現有明顯的改善，森林門將李爾‧甘普(Lee Camp)兩番救出對方新加盟的冰島前鋒科維達臣(Gunnar Thorvaldsson)的頭鎚攻門。下半場22分鐘，客隊後備入替的基比(Jimmy Kebe)單刀被森林的梳利剷跌，球隊獲得一記十二碼，梳利紅牌被逐離場。白賴仁‧侯活(Brian Howard)主射被李爾‧甘普撲出。補時階段，基比接應白賴仁‧侯活的傳中頭鎚頂入，替客隊挽回一球，可惜已經為時已晚。賽後森林26戰得49分，兩分落後少打兩場的榜首紐卡素(Newcastle)，繼續位列聯賽次席。
