Review:
Alfreton Town were the first pre-season opponents for the 2019-20 season and although we went a goal behind after a quarter of an hour, Brennan Johnson (in his first appearance) made it 1-1 before half time and Karim Ansarifard got the winner with 7 minutes to go. Two full teams were used by Forest and it's good to get moving under new manager Lamouchi.

Note: Both Arvin Appiah and George Shelvey were subsequently given squad numbers of 43, so I'm not sure what numbers they used in this pre-season friendly.
