First game I have seen in full this season and one thing that sticks out to me is every new player on show has improved the 1st team and this is bringing out the quality in some of the existing players most notably Viptonik and Ronald.

This could well be a very good season.

NB. The only position that worries me is RB as Key just isn't good enough
 
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!
 
We looked tired at the end. Road our luck, but same time played really well. We deserved that win. What an ending to a game
VP scoring brilliant goal and Burgess. What more can I say.. Just wow
