Right, much to the chagrin of Blue Maniac who does so loathe me commenting on games:
Got to watch this one on a proper telly and everything and would echo much of what many of you have said.
I thought Cunningham looked tidy down the left hand side and there was a moment in the game where he gave Wellens a right bollocking, which I think is good to see from your young defenders.
Speaking of Wellens, I thought that he was superb today particularly in the final 20 minutes of the game and that cheeky nutmeg towards the end was sublime. The midfield as a unit looked very good. A far cry from the Oakley/King partnership that Sousa was trying to fob off as an actual midfield. Abe, as everyone has said, seems to be a very good player.
I'm a Gallagher fan and he has played well when I've been able to watch him in the past but I found his performance a bit frustrating today. He missed a couple of decent chances and the flow of play often slowed to a crawl when he received the ball wide. I couldn't help but think that Dyer on one wing and Vassell on the other would be almost unplayable at this level. Also, his corners were (and I assume have been) woeful.
Bednar, same as the rest of you...got beat up a bit and his first touch was poor. That said, he was probably playing against one of the most physical defenders in the league and he won't be dealing with Morgan week in, week out.
All in all, a superb performance and I'm not sure all of our players are in full gear yet (Vassell, Bednar, Hobbs) and when they hit form we'll be flying.
Oh, and for me the Vassell pen was nailed on.
Finally I was very impressed with the impact Nathan Tyson made when he came on. Blistering pace. Looks a decent player on that performance. Didn't notice much else of note from Forest, who seemed a wee bit lost.
