Thoughts on yesterday (includes swears)

• Malo Gusto made a big difference when he came on

• we need to get the ball to Mudryk earlier and oftener

• Nkunku and Reece James on at the end is a glimpse of what might have been this season

• Nottingham was a much nicer place than I remember from 30 years ago

• I particularly enjoyed the Bombay Delicatessen

• I’ll be glad to see the back of that Eton Blue kit. It looks ok on people walking around town, but it’s a bit icky on a football pitch

• Nicholas Jackson vaulting over the wall into the crowd after scoring the winner was daft, and probably a bit dangerous, and it got him booked again…but it was a totally Nicholas Jackson thing to do and I loved it

• the Forest support was great. ‘Mull of Kintyre’ is random, but i loved the Shakira tune they do….and beginning the “Hudson-odoi, he left ‘cos you’re shit” chant within seconds of him scoring was quality, and more amusing in retrospect :)

• I thought Cole Palmer had a relatively quiet game, and I was surprised he got MOTM….but I hadn’t appreciated that first assist until I saw it on the telly

• I am going to miss Thiago Silva. One of my favourite recent book titles is ‘The Beatles are under-rated’. Well, I’d also say that Thiago Silva is under-rated. Massively.
