Ignore the result (which is obviously amazing) the most important thing tonight is that we gave a good account of ourselves tonight against a side with a handful of £40m+ footballers.
Those talking about a Forest reserve side obviously haven’t been watching much of the PL over the last few years. These days the likes of Forest, Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford etc have 20-25 players at a similar level costing tens of millions of pounds. It’s changed dramatically since we were there.
Positives:
Galbraith has some lovely touches and you can see he’s a class player. Strange he ended up at Leyton Orient.
I’d have no issues with Casey or Samuels-Smith having to step into the first XI for a run of games.
We’ve got 4 genuine options out wide.
Vipotnik’s goal means his confidence will remain sky high (good to see Cullen get the assist as he’s had loads of stick recently)
Burgess is the leader on the pitch we’ve been crying out for since Ash.
Team spirit seems very good (easy when you’re winning mind), so credit to Sheehan and the staff for integrating the new players so quickly.
STID!
