Forest always do Remembrance Sunday very well. It’s respectful without being OTT.
The fella on the trumpet was note perfect, both sets of fans reacted in the right way.
This wasn’t always given in a Forest Vs Leeds match. We’ve heard all the scabs chants, and in return, we’re rather fond of DIRTY, DIRTY Leeds in return.
But for Remembrance Sunday, the occasion rises above this. Credit has to go to Forest as a club for managing the occasion with deference it deserves.
I was surprised not to see Yates in the starting eleven. This game had his name all over it - especially in a team picked by Dyche. Sangaré didn’t disappoint.
The game started decent for Forest.
Hey! Betcha Leeds are going to score.
Oh bollocks.
Some Championship level defending led to us going 1-0 down. Please don’t collapse. It would be such a Forest thing to do in front of the live telly cameras.
Oh hang on. Blimey. An instant equaliser. I wasn’t expecting that. Or maybe it’s just that we aren’t use to this with a Nuno or Cooper team.
It was a fantastic recovery and comeback. I always had faith in Sangaré. Yep. Never doubted it.
The Big Fat Greek looked happy for once. I prefer his Miami Vice look compared to the recent airings of the You Are the Manager jacket.
MGW was much improved. Neco continued with his impossibly high consistency levels. Our best left back since The Skipper back in the day?
We do miss Wood up front though.
HT came and went.
Oh hello - TAIWO!
He always raises a smile.
Considering he was pretty much out the door with twelve hours or so to go on Deadline Day, it’s quite a turnaround to see him getting regular minutes of late.
Hutchinson was part of the same substitution bundle. Now there’s a fella who needs to perform.
Yates was Yates.
The MGW goal was bloody great. Two headers in the space of a week, both glancing.

Hutchinson was actually very encouraging as the second half played out. Rumours of his demise, etc. He’s the player we always thought we had bought, albeit with some reservations over the price.
And then came the pen. Thank chuff MGW was already off the pitch.
Andersons TWATTED it.
3-1, Forest All Over the World, Eva’s Grill fireworks.
On and off the pitch, etc.
Time for some BOOZE.
