THAT was the best I’ve seen us play in years

We still need to work on our goal scoring, but other than that we are excellent.
The players look like they are enjoying playing in this way as well and the effort is there for all to see.
If we can sort out the issues in front of goal then we'll be too much for most teams to cope with.
 
Loved the build up
Loved the one touch passing the flicks and tricks.
the great team build up
The way we support each other

and it was like we had an extra man as they were everywhere

looooove it
Unbelievable that it was essentially the same team we had two months ago, before Chris arrived.
Neil Taylor was the only addition.
It was like having a feast after spending the last five years in football cold-storage.
Brilliant🏆
 
Don't get me wrong, today was absolutely brilliant but we did put in some awesome displays under Karanka as well.
we absolutely did. But I think against the better "in-form" teams we tended to stifle them and hit them on the break rather than dominate. Particularly in the promotion season.

brentford in the play-off is a good shout mind. Think we also thumped an in-form Ipswich that year too.

Especially the 1st half zorro, we were excellent
 
Couldnt believe Dael has been out injured - looked like he`d never been away.
The sight of him bringing the ball into their goal area freaked me out!!!
Centre - backs overtaking opposition defenders!🏃‍♂️⚽
No wonder Forest didnt know what hit em!!!
Wilder is a miracle man.

I still thought we played better against Sheffield United earlier in the season
 
I haven't seen us dominate a game like that for years! If we'd had someone clinical up front it could have been 5-6. Sporar is growing into the role week by week though, if all the attacking cogs suddenly click together then we are in for one hell of a second half to this season.
 
I disagree, for most of the Brighton game we were under the cosh. I didn’t want it to stop yesterday😀
We were 2-0 up at half time and got the third earlyish on in the second half. We had the best defence in the division and kept them largely at arms length. If that's under the cosh, I hope we're under it for the rest of the season

We drew 1-1 the match I was referring to. It was earlier in the season just before Chris o when we hammered them.

Which is why I said "Brighton away". If you are on about the 1-1 draw the last match of the season, which got us promotion, then I think you need to watch it again. If we were under the cosh for most of that game, well again I hope we are under the cosh for the rest of this season. We were easily the better team, 1-1 flattered Brighton.

Also, Brighton were unbeaten up to that point and were level on points with us. It was supposed to be our biggest test of the season and we completely dominated them.
They then had a bit of a slump and started to fall away. I honestly thought we'd broken them. I was surprised they came back again so strongly.
 
I didnt go on boxing day as live down south west. I was excited to watch the full 90 mins on the MFC website which i did last night. ...i think it was a good solid performance , we didnt pass forest off the park or play like unbelievable IMO We did have a structure about us and pressured at the right time. Think could play better and people are going slightly overboard. Id say weve played as good if not better in some games under warnock tbh...guess missing ingredient was consistency and arguable fitness and concentration as weve stopped giving away leads in the 2nd half now. Long may it continue but still not unbeatable yet

I think that it seemed like we were under the cosh because of the score and of the magnitude of the game. I remember watching it and thinking that every time Brighton got the ball they were going to score. I watched the whole game again a few days later and was amazed at how comfortable we looked.
