   As ever a spot on report. I didn’t watch yesterday’s game because I live nearly 300 miles away, but I gather that Forest in general, and Williams in particular, were trying for Oscars. As you say Jim, the late, great Brian Clough would be turning in his grave.
   You comments about Lee Carsley are equally pertinent. The team has been transformed from the spineless bunch I watched against Burnley in August. I didn’t mind losing ( after 54 years I am used to that), but I did mind the lack of passion. So thank you Mr Carsley for putting the passion back into Brentford FC.

   Agree on the most part, although we we’re 1-0 up when Deano saw red, and were already pressing for a second goal which I felt was imminent. The fact that Forest caught us napping from the resulting free-kick just made the injustice sting all the more.

   We then looked nervy for all of about 5 minutes as ten men but the substitutions were spot on, with Sergi straight into them as soon as his boots touched the pitch, which I think sparked the rest of the boys back to life a bit.

   After that, it was only ever going to be a Bees win, although when we hit the post it started to look like it might not happen. We definitely needed a bit of luck and the three Forest deflections that encouraged the ball in to the net were greatly (and wildly) received!

   Delighted with the result, delighted that LC is sticking around and optimistic that a(nother) managerial change won’t upset the apple cart too much. COYR.

   Lee staying is good for the Bees. continuity, a decent handover – it’s almost like Liverpool post shankley. I liked your comments about Hoffman. I was starting to warm to him and wondered if it was just me. He is a good target man, good at holding the ball and his distribution is good. The goal had shades of luck, but if a shot is on target, it always has a chance. Great spirit and with Jota reportedly on the way having played a friendly, I think we can start looking forward to an interesting period.

   It is a shame Lee doesn’t want the job full time but you have to respect his decision . I just hope another foreign manager won’t upset the squad again.
