Very complimentary

He always is about us. He seems to be a journo who hasn't been blinded by the prem hype and who does still appreciate there is life outside the top league.

Henry is always complimentary about us but I thought that article was a bit condescending, he only just stopped short of calling us Plucky Little Nottingham Forest.

His ratings are odd, he heavily praised Spence but then only gave him an 8. Also Mckenna and Garner only getting a 6 seems harsh, Zinc I get

Giving Yates a 9 too. Accepted he got the assist and ran himself to a standstill but he was all over the place 1st half, barely passed to a red shirt. Not criticism at all just saying he wasnt a 9 for his overall performance.

Yates gets a '9' for effort.  I'll give him that.  It's a different kind of '9'.  And that's why he's in the side.  Combative spirit who is 'Nottingham Forest' rock if you cut him in two.  :cool:

And that's why he got the cross in.  A cross that was as well executed as anyone else in the club could have delivered.  And Yates delivered.

Not bad for a player that is 'short' in ability but over endowed in effort.  Keane himself, no shortage of praise for the lad.

Journo's.  Just like fans.  They have different opinions.

Last night was a triumph for the club and fans.

I think I enjoyed that Arsenal defeat by Forest even more than the one with Brereton in the side with Gary Brazil in charge.

Both executed in different ways.  And executed Arsenal to the sword.

I think what I liked about last night?  Forest were in complete control.  Composed.  Calculated.

For a moment, part of me thought, blink...and this could be a fixture from the division above.

Perhaps a preview of the heavenly banquet to come.
