The day after the announcement of the contract renewal, Nottingham Forest ushered in their league tournament opponents at home.
Nottingham Forest's current situation was very delicate.
On one hand, they were making triumphant progress in the Champions League; on the other hand, Manchester United continued to narrow the gap in points.
By the time they got to this game, the point difference between the two teams had shrunk from the highest at twelve points to the lowest at four.
Despite that, Twain still hid away half of his main force before the second Champions League game with Inter Milan. Even George Wood was seated on the substitutes' bench.
The recent competition schedule was so intense that Twain had to consider every player's stamina, which was also a decision made by the fitness coach.
In the end, Nottingham Forest shook hands and made peace with Aston Villa at 2:2 in the home game.
