Rotherham boss chuffed for Lester

But Harford was less pleased that the 29 year old hit man delivered the knock-out blow that ended Rotherham's excellent run and gave
Forest a much-needed boost.

Harford was No. 2 to Joe Kinnear at The City Ground when they
brought Lester back to the club from Sheffield United but within three games
he suffered a knee ligament injury.

Said Harford: "I was delighted to see Jack playing again but not
so happy about the fact that he played so well against us and scored a goal.

"Until he got the penalty 15 minutes from time I just could not
see anything but a goalless draw and hoped that we might just nick a winner.

"I just could not see Forest scoring but then came the penalty
and the second goal was a fluke. I really felt as though we were the better
team in terms of football and possession but we didn't do much about it.

"In all honesty we didn't look like scoring at any time today
and that's not been the case so far this season. You have to give Forest
credit for defending well but we know we can do better than that."
