Nottingham Forest - Millwall

[Strawberry Avenger]

One thing that struck me yesterday was our discipline plus the fact that we didn't give away daft free kicks around our box which Millwall can be very dangerous from.

The corner Yates scored from was also a rehearsed set piece as the ball was delivered in that low near post area several times. CH obviously thought it a way to do something with corners by bypassing their aerial advantage. More evidence of CH's influence begining to pay dividends.

On point.  It has Hughton's influence all over the Yates goal.

Hughton has got Sow and the team playing with greater discipline.  Compact.  Cohesive.

And honest endeavour.

Forest's discipline has been growing since Hughton took the job.

The more contained way Sow is playing is just one example as is the controlled unleasing of Mighten as another.  I felt Mighten had had a far more sustained influence yesterday.   His best game yet as constantly stung Millwall with his threat.  Sow bludgeons the Millwall centre.  Ameobi delivers two hammer blows.

And Yates delivers the knockout blow.  And it's been coming for him.   He gives Forest energy, endeavour and the will to win.   As the squad improves then Yates will get even better.
