Ohh look at me my names Nottingham Forest and I’m able to beat FA Cup favourites Brighton without our top striker and manage to sustain a better chance of not only finishing higher in the table but also winning more trophies than Chelsea’s £1B super team this season.

Grow up

No one deserved this moment more than Ryan Yates - Incredible advocate for this football club!! 🔴⚪️

I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure an FA Cup semi-final of Glasner's Palace, Nuno's Forest, Emery's Villa, and Iraola's Bournemouth would heal this entire country. Medically, culturally, environmentally.

How are you playing 50 games a year whilst travelling half way round the world, dealing with the maddest jetlag and still banging them in. Fucking elite

[Michael Cox @Zonal_Marking]

absolutely fantastic woodwork (and net) sound on all three strikes, you have to say

£250,000. That’s how much Nuno Espirito Santo donated to foodbanks one Christmas. He didn’t seek any praise or publicity. Just doing the right thing. Nuno was manager at Molineux at the time, heard Wolves Foundation working with local foodbanks, and sent them the money. That gives a glimpse of the calibre of the man now head coach of Nottingham Forest and today named Premier League Manager of the Month. Nuno has strong values as well as sound footballing principles and strengths, all reasons why players respect and respond to him. It is another reason to celebrate Forest’s eye-catching season and third place in the table.

Forest rarely do things quietly and have undeniably had issues this season: two players sent off (even the saintly James Ward-Prowse), a gobby owner banned, and Nuno himself in trouble for comments. All can be placed in the category of desperation to win, apart from Marinakis’ spitting - disgusting. But today’s awards for Nuno and Player of the Month Chris Wood are deserved reward. They’re a reminder that good things come to those who work hard.

Nuno may view himself as an outsider: born on an island in the Gulf of Guinea, far from the mainstream of elite football, never fully getting the acclaim he deserved at Wolves, never fully accepted at Spurs at the start and soon failing. But after a restorative spell in Saudi, Nuno has settled quickly at Forest. He looks like he feels he belongs. He’s challenging the elite, something that Forest love doing.

He's got Forest very well-organised but they are so much more than a compact unit. They have flair in Morgan Gibbs-White, who also has the work ethic Nuno demands. They have pace around Wood. Players know their roles, and their responsibilities to each other. Ryan Yates, academy graduate and captain, embodies that. Yates wears that red shirt like a second skin, and others follow suit.

Forest are showing what you can do with sensible team-building. Gone is the scattergun approach and acceptance of too much agent advice. They now have a resilient defence formed of one full-back on a free, one loanee and two centre-backs who cost £22m and are now worth four times that. The back-line is the foundation of Forest's play and their season’s success to date. Beyond Wood with his eight goals, Forest are not free-scoring (14 in 10), so a redoubtable defence matters even more. Only Liverpool have conceded fewer goals (6 to Forest’s 7).

Forest have some tricky fixtures coming up, including Newcastle at home on Sunday and Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United away. On the positive side, influential midfielders Danilo and Sangare may return from injury in December. Elliot Anderson has always played well when given his chance. They have good players, and a very good manager. Whether they retain a Champions League place or not, Forest fans are loving a season full of adrenalin and free of anxiety, thanks so much to Nuno. #NFFC

Big fans of sipping a Ribena and saying “I was knackered so I just hit it.”

We support Ola Aina now.
