- 3 points again. (After squealing the wheels with a succession of draws, it's 3 wins in a row! Can this possibly continue to propel Forest into the top 6?!)
- After all the stone wallers not given, we got a dodgy pen. (For the 2nd or 3rd game now, Yates has been wrestled in the penalty area for a stone wall penalty.)
- Some of the football was superb. (There was one sweeping move that deserved a goal. Grabban's cross for Brennan...the covering of Colback by Garner...the penalty cool as you like by Grabban. Tearing Hull a new **** for half an hour. Just a preview of where this Forest side are going under Cooper.)
- Mighten was excellent in his time on the pitch. (He will be a real superstar one day with those quick feet, pace and balance). (Amen. He's got that Grealish swagger of just running at teams and drawing the foul.)
- Despite the constant disruption due to injuries we prevailed. (To get the lads in at halftime and sort out the formation, tactics and come out swinging? Tactically astute by our Coach. Hull were clearly going for disruption, long ball and spoilers.)
- Lots of great performances: Yates, Worrall, McKenna, Colback, Spence, Jonno, Zinc, Grabbs, Garner, Samba all put in really good showings. (Colback. Immense. Looking a real deal team! McKenna has grown in statue.)
- I think we got a view of a future star on opposition too.
Negatives
- The injuries beginning to mount. (Desperately need to hold our cards and add a few more to the deck. LB and Striker. At least. But a winger and another flexible CM/ACM who can stretch the dynamic of a game and give Forest more match winners, adding crucial goals to our current output. Very reliant on Grabban and Brennan.)
- The Arsenal lads "luck" with injury is horrendous. (He's a powerful player with some pace and can 'take it' to the opposition. But so was Sow. Fingers crossed he's not a biscuit.)
- Spence got caught out for goal (send the clip to Boro). (Yep. Not the 1st time he's been caught out this season. The formation change didn't help him. Got caught ball watching.)
- 2000 ticket holders not at the ground. (28k sold). (2k didn't turn up?)
- As good as we were, thought Colback was imperious in centre mid. We definitely lose a bit when he's not there on his current form. (He was really good at LB as well). (Colback. Immense. Back to the player who was my player of the season when Lolley was chosen for that honour. I'm glad Cooper can see what he offers. Quality.)
As usual, Zicorice, your Occam's razor summary speaks truth.
