London, May 5 — Nottingham Forest were held to a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace tonight, a result that extends their difficult run of form through April and into May. Despite flashes of resilience, Forest have struggled for both goals and points in recent weeks, raising concerns as the season enters its final stretch.
Tonight’s result at Selhurst Park followed a pattern that has become familiar to Forest fans: a lack of attacking sharpness and defensive lapses at key moments. Since their spirited 1-0 win over Manchester United on April 1st, Forest have only managed one other victory — a surprising 2-1 away win at Tottenham — while suffering four defeats and securing just one other draw.

- 🤝 May 5: Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest
The numbers are telling: just five goals scored in seven matches, and only seven points earned from a possible 21. At the same time, Forest have failed to score in four of those games, and have conceded two goals in three straight fixtures before tonight’s draw.
Managerial decisions, player form, and perhaps fatigue are all under scrutiny as Forest search for consistency. With just a few matches remaining, fans will be hoping for a late surge to end the season on a high note.
Can Forest rediscover their edge before the season wraps up?
