Bristol City need a new penalty man after Michael McIndoe's Nottingham Forest miss - match report

Gary Johnson is looking for a new penalty taker after Michael McIndoe missed his second spot kick in as many games.
McIndoe's injury-time effort was saved by Forest keeper Lee Camp and cost Bristol City all three points at Ashton Gate.
He also missed from the spot in the victory over Southampton but it did not have a bearing on the outcome.
"When you get a penalty in the last minute you are thinking that you've got out of jail," said Johnson.
"One kick of the ball to go and if it goes in, it's three points and we're all buzzing. Unfortunately, the keeper saved it and we've come in level.
"Michael will be feeling as gutted as we all are. He will probably be feeling more so because he will feel he's letpeople down.
"I don't normally give somebody a third chance, mainly for their own sake because it does put them under too much pressure. Next time, it will be somebody else."
A win would have been harsh on struggling Forest who had twice taken deserved leads.
They went ahead on 11 minutes when Joe Garner fired home from Nathan Tyson's cross.
City drew level on 38 minutes. Dele Adebola squared to Marvin Elliott on the edge of the box and the midfielder smashed it in off the crossbar.
Forest restored their lead two minutes after the break. Luke Chambers' long ball found Tyson who beat substitute Cole Skuse and coolly slotted past Adriano Basso.
City levelled again with 10 minutes to go. Liam Fontaine turned on the edge of the box and fired left-footed through a crowd of players into the bottom right-hand corner.
Deep into stoppage time, Stern John was pushed in the box by Chambers, but McIndoe could not convert from the spot.
