Forest 5:1 Huddersfield

Most teams who have Forest watched come to the conclusion that the best way to defend against them at the City Ground is to defend deep and to defend in numbers. Huddersfield decided that they weren't going to do that, they were going to defend on the half-way line and in a kind of rough zig-zag formation. It was Christmas coming early, 3:0 up in 20 minutes, thank-you and good-night.

The offside trap, such as it was, was beaten as early as the 6 minute, and roughly every 30 seconds from then on. Junior Agogo benefiting from it twice, while Grant 'bigger than me' Holt's turning circle got him caught too far forward on more than one occasion.

Gary Holt took a John Terry-esque kick to the head in the first half, and then proceeded to play his best game in a Forest shirt. Admittedly, there isn't a great deal of competition for that, but credit where it's due.

Lewis McGugan & Bryan Hughes showed that there is still life in the academy, while Luke Chambers looks a no-nonsense kind of defender.

All in all, a good result all round.

A quick mention of the Huddersfield fans, who clearly don't understand the meaning of irony. "You're Not Famous Any More" they sang. Quite.
