1-0 up, 33 minutes, Gary Holt.. you what?

[Rob the Red]

Excellent win there, played well and fully deserved it. Unfortunately Bristol City scored late on to get a winner and Scunny got an equaliser.

o well we won and thats what he got to keep doing

[Adyduck]

It was more than o well we won? The performance,work rate and commitment were also there,& for me luke chambers & breckin were solid as a rock in defence.Commons stayed wide left and linked up well with wright & both put in some good crosses,jack lester was making things happen.Forest need to find this level of performance every game now till the end of the season & if they do then 2nd place will be ours.It was the late late show for the likes of scunny & bristol & yeovil so it all nearly went our way.Winning was so vital with this happening.In all a decent win but we must goto ashton gate and beat bristol if we have any chance of grabbing 2nd place and promotion.Every player worked for eachother & they got their just deserts with this win Smith recovered after some aweful kicks,defence steady as a rock,midfield battled for everything & the strikers ran their legs off causing problems all match for the cheltenham defence
