15 in a row was home league wins.

11 in a row is home wins in all comps.

In case anyone is wondering.

So the first record from 2023 is more impressive. But because it stretched over two seasons it's not getting a look-in. Opta out!

Another good home win.  Apart from a short spell when we switched off a bit at 2-0 and conceded, we were in control.  I'd be concerned if I was a Forest fan - thought they showed very little ambition and were all.over the place at times.

Bet he wishes he'd signed that contract.

What has gone wrong that he is not starting in that midfield?

Compared to last season when they gave us a game they were useless. Anyway walk in the park tbh and plenty of energy conserved for Crystal Sodding Palace on Wednesday. Onwards….

And a day's extra rest over Palace. Hopefully they'll continue to look tired.

Played well. Should have taken some earlier chances. But once we didn’t have to get out of third gear to beat a very poor Forest side. Job done. Well done Ollie for continuing to to find the net. Great to see Kamara back. Him, SJM and Youri controlled the middle without a lot of issue.

Comfortable win in the end, great to see Ollie back to his best, SJM MOTM absolutely superb today, only disappointment was we didn't keep a clean sheet.

Our home league form, since the Arsenal defeat at the begining of last season, now stands at 1 defeat in 28 matches, superb stuff, fortress VP.
