We need some more of that. Hope at last. The supporters were superb too. Now for a beer on the way home to celebrate.

Don't tell that to GaribaldiRed, we'll never hear the end of it... ;)

:cool:

Maybe... Just maybe... There is life left in these players, many of whom we had written off

I hope Cooper watches the video of this match. Forest had a system that suited them. They played brightly (like they had done in the starts to previous matches, to be fair...) and the wing backs and formation gave Huddersfield something they couldn't deal with. Brennan's pace was blistering at the right moment. Terrific cross. BANG! It's Grabban turning the clock back and shows with service like that(!) he'll score goals. Lolley for the 2nd goal, reborn. Again, turning the clock back. The confidence came flooding back to the side as they put in a professional performance we haven't seen since...

If we get ANY KIND of new manager 'bounce' then we can hit mid-table with ease.

Another win? And we'll be two points off Mid-Table Sheff U/Boro'.

Did somebody give me a real football team to support overnight?

Players clearly didn't like Hughton eh? lol

Fantastic to win after so long. Unfortunately I was relying on the Radio Nottingham audio commentary on the Official website ( for which we have to pay £ 44) . Sounds like a bunch of Orangutans were in charge, as the commentary kept on dropping, and
sound engineers were coming on to the live feed.
Looks like the shackles were thrown off, and a pragmatic game plan was put in to place. CH was a good man, but it seems he was too stubborn to try anything new. I hope that Steven Reid will be offered a place in the management team, as he totally out thought Carlos Cormoran tactically.
Now there seems to be some joined up thinking, which hopefully can take us up the table. Off to have a beer or two !!

One of my big complaints with hughton is that we rarely posed a threat because we rarely had anyone in the box. It was refreshing that today, we had a few more players getting in there to support grabban and than in turn gave him a bit more space.

We've along way to go. We are still bottom of the league. So have to be realistic. But very pleased with the result - hopefully the confidence will start to grow and the new manager will hopefully hit the ground running

Well Derby are essentially below us as soon as they legally trigger it

Well done to Steven Reid today, he set us up as being hard to beat but playing for a win.

Pleased for Grabbs on his goal, Figgy and Samba on their clean sheet and Yates dominating the midfield.

Enjoy the rest of your evening MR. Would've loved to have been there myself.

Yep.  Good to have those four with a clean sheet, a goal and dominating that CM area.  Massive boost to the confidence.

...and Lolley looking more like his old self for the 2nd goal (OG.)

Interesting that Lolley had got a brace for the u23s?

1. Derby face -21 points
2. we win
3. We win using three at the back, a system I and a few others have been calling out for all season.

Schadenfreude, happiness and self smugness all in one day.

I’d better get that lottery bet on quick….

I'm not sure that the EFL have got the guts to add 9pts to the automatic 12. All the talk of them being a huge club!! might just spook them into submission, we shall see? Whatever a much better Saturday night than usual. High pressing, forward movement, fast passing and a goal from a header! That's better.
