Nottingham Forest - Rotherham

[Tricky]

Reminded me of a Sabri game (and I like Sabri). In the first half we didn't even look to pass the ball through the lines or even play the ball quickly. We also did our old thing of the back 4 having a kickabout inviting pressure from inferior opposition not even thinking about advancing the ball up the pitch until we make that one sideways pass too many and either giveaway possession or have to hoof it. This extremely slow ball movement puts the opposition on the front foot which is inexcusable against Rotherham. Got to be more positive from the off.

To be fair I thought forest were excellent for the first 15 minutes then went to sleep for 40 minutes then bang at it for the last 35, a 35 that was as entertaining I've seen a forest side for some time now. Had me on the edge of my seat again, it felt bloody good too. 

Baring the misses there are huge positives to take from last night, more so than Blackburn in my eyes. We started to really play some good football and have a real go, committing bodies in to the box as well. 

It's been 2 weeks under Hughton just 2 weeks, you cannot rebuild a football team in that time, so we have to be patient, we look solid, we looked like we gained confidence through the game it was great to see. 

Never a pen for me either he was tripped by his own man. Lolley looked at it which is a great sign, big competition too now with knocks banging on the door. I'm a lot more positive than I have been in a while. Slowly starting to see subtle changes and I like it. 

Bring on the rams, 3 points and were really off to a flyer under Hughton. Long may it continue.
