A first half saw our visitors with the better of the play, but they failed to test Scott Carson. The second half saw us move up a gear and despite this being a dull dour affair we were the only team that looked like scoring the much needed goal.
Not a great performance, but when it's the East Midlands Derby the games are hardly ever classics.
Both sides looked very poor, yet under the right management both could do very well.
There's no doubting that our lads can rise and we have seen that in the very recent past. Forest lacked anything in he final third of the field, but defensively didn't look bad at all.
Anyway on the day itself, all that counts is the final score and that saw our fans go away the happy ones.
Big shout outs first of all for Darren Wassall/Harry Redknapp whoever decided to start Jamie Hanson over Cyrus Christie. Many, myself included thought that it was going to prove to be a costly tactical error, but Hanson had a very good game. He kept Osborn very quiet.
George Thorne and Markus Olsson also had a good game and Tom Ince put in a shift.
I suppose what we all want to know is how much influence Harry Redknapp is having on the team? If it's very little, what exactly is he doing?
Hopefully we can anchor ourselves in the top six and I suppose play offs is better than no chance of promotion at all. Obviously we won't be fancied by a lot of people to make progress in them, but it'll give us a good chance to shut up those who call us chokers. Some of those support teams who have either choked every time or indeed having had enough going to even cough.
