Brentford score 7 but I think they lost midweek. Forest lose

Great win today. So much more relaxed than usual when watching/reading your commentaries. Hard to believe we have the best goal difference in the league. The defence has been outstanding this season so far and long may it continue.

John, looking at the official site it's 35626, not 826.
Still a damned good crowd.

Delighted with that, great result, big confidence booster for some. Will be interesting to see white move into the CDM role against Huddersfield

From what I've heard and occasionally seen, White would give a good performance as CDM, but I'm happy with both Kalvin and him. I can only hope we retain both.

Bit like Group me but you don't NEED a smart phone to access, I use it for a couple of fantasy leagues and our family uses it to co-ordinate ourselves for mum's care

Starting to look more and more like a top team. Late winners away from home and absolutely took care of business against a lower-tier team at home.

Nice to have a stress free afternoon, sounds like we bossed it from start to finish. Saw clip of Klich second which was really a thing of beauty. Well done boys.

Finally won at a canter and gave someone a hiding, would have preferred next weekend instead, but it'll do.

Pros:
5 from 5 in November
Klich scoring again
Game sewn up before final 10 mins
Costa first league goal
We didn't get complacent
4 goals
2 before HT
Forest lost
Chelski lost
Eddie back

Cons:
Rubbish subs - Berardi and Alioski instead of Clarke and Stevens

With Kalvin out next week, will MB play McCalmont or Dallas out of position?

Would imagine White to DM with Berardi in at CB.

I may be the only one but I thought we were average first half, I think getting the early goal meant Boro had to play a bit more than most teams who just seem to allow us to boss the first half and go in at 0-0.

Great to see Klich getting that deflected goal in the first half. Amazing what difference confidence makes as we saw with his second goal. Compare that to some of the easier chances he has been missing this season. With Costa scoring too hopefully we will now see goals flying in from all round the squad as well as Bamford continuing his scoring run.

Best bit of the video is Bamford's kick after Costa scores... look out for it.
It comes at 3:44--- that the old Bamford that we know and love.
