After last week’s struggles in the air, AI acted to bring in Milosavljevic for Diakite, adding more height to a defensive line-up which was surely set to face another trial by high ball. Meanwhile, it was good to see Unal fit enough after his long-term injury to make the bench.

The start of the Dyche era at Forest was celebrated by their fans, once again sending the away coach off on its journey to Bournemouth with a world-famous display of pyrotechnics; three sparklers and a small Catherine Wheel. It’s the kind of explosive excitement unlikely to be repeated on the pitch under their new boss. Yes, not even that.

For explosive, they should look at how AFCB approached the start of the game, as we hit them like a hurricane. Fortunately, no signs were dislodged from the stadium as we pinned them back with an aggressive high press and never let them settle.
