The Only Way Is Up, Baby!

Good win for the Trickies tonight, 3-1 over struggling Bristol City. On a night when the City Ground remembered Brian Clough this was the only possible result in order to honour the great man's memory. The Red's started poorly going down to a soft goal and all the old problems seemed to be there, an inability to string a set of passes together, players hiding and the old hoof up the field and hope. But as on Saturday, Lester once more came to our rescue slotting away a penalty to make it 1-1 followed quickly by a goal from Perchy to make it 2-1. half time came and we were looking in command, but by no means safe. The second half Forest came out much brighter, playing some decent passing football at times and showing just what they were capable of. Given confidence and the backing of the crowd this team should have nothing to worry about in this league, when they play football there are very few teams that can live with them, it just seems that the fear of a mistake is holding them back a bit. We had another wonder goal from Commons in the second half (and this time I actually think he meant it) to wrap the game up and give us all 3 points.
Things are by no means sorted and looking Rosy all of a sudden but we're certainly on the right path and if we keep playing like that we should be back in the Cahmpionship next year.
Finally Russel hoult in goal, great shot stopper but can he find a red shirt with his clearances?? Can he hell as like! Think he needs to pretend all the lads in Red are 15 year old girls then he'd have no problem (for those that don't know the bloke has a bit of a reputation for allegedly being a bit of a paedo)
good result lads, keep it up.
