• As said by nearly all, Jimmy Garner was superb. Imagine if KDH had been playing. I sort of expect that from Garner, so even more welcome was Tim Iroegbunam's performance. For the first time for me he looked like a real all-round player, winning so much in front of the defence and looking to move things forward in a way I haven't seen before. Apparently Moyes had a word. It worked. Well done both. Glad you had a great day Pete M and agree that Barry was shite. But he scored and it was a great move and finish. So, fingers crossed. Patterson started poorly but improved as the game unfolded. He had two quick skillful lads to deal with and he did fine. I thought that he and Dibling - very impressive - worked well together. Dibling tracking back and Dear God I actually saw our right-back ahead of his winger. Patterson must start v Brentford, but one reason is that top-drawer performace by JT and Jake. Superb. Domineering. Forest with very good wide players - we were linked wit...

• Interesting to hear the commentator suggest that McNeil's move to Forest is imminent. Anyone heard anything of this particularly as Dyche rates him....
  Alan J Thompson in Nottingham Forest vs Everton Player Ratings: James Garner inspires win at City Ground
• Just home from an excellent evening in Nottingham. I don’t get to many away games now, but I really enjoyed this one. It was a real Moyes performance, he seems to come into his own when he is down to the bare bones, he certainly wrung something out of the players available. We all have different perspectives of a game, but there is unanimity that Garner was the outstanding player on the pitch. Patterson had a nightmare first 15 minutes but then composed himself, aided by Dibling putting in a good shift - Tyler also showed some very nice skill at times. I thought Barry was awful, but I give him great credit for his perseverance and his goal. To an extent Forest played into our hands, constantly putting the ball out wide then putting crosses in which were meat and drink for our two excellent centre backs. The introduction of Grealish helped. By the time he came on we were desperate for someone to hold onto the ball for a few seconds, he did that and set up a coupl...
  Peter Mills in Depleted Blues dig deep for a fantastic result at the City Ground
• Just finished watching the match and I've not read any of the above comments. It was a terrific first half with both sides playing some good, entertaining stuff, far better than the drab Burnley game. The midfield was working as a unit, getting forward in support and arriving late into the box which did lead to the goal. However, the second half, to me under instruction, the midfield sat back and we lost momentum giving Forest the initiative but some nice work from Garner and Barry, both having very good games, led to a second. There will be those who will say it is Moyes bashing and we should just celebrate the win but I really didn't understand the substitutions, take off the right back that hasn't done badly for Grealish in what looked like bringing on somebody to hold the ball in a forward position when it really needed the midfield to stop sitting back and to do what they did in the first half. Then Barry who scored a very good goal particularly in his movement and hav...
  Alan J Thompson in Depleted Blues dig deep for a fantastic result at the City Ground
• Just an observation; in the 2nd half especially we needed to be running at them more and shooting more, but that tends to give the ball away and can leave players 'stranded', it's a fine line - but it's great to watch. ...
