    Our brilliant day at Forest listening to Oliver Glasner

    Matt Davies and Pete Blackburn headed to the Nigel Doughty Academy on Thursday as Nottingham Forest held an open training session and welcomed children from Kirkby Woodhouse Primary School as well as 20 grassroots football coaches from across Nottinghamshire. We watched the 10 players who aren't on international duty train before Glasner and his coaching staff worked with the children in a special training session.
