All our goals may have come from the penalty spot, but at least it must have meant we were creating chances, so we're almost there. When Agogo and Tyson are fully fit, there will surely be no stopping us.
Mind you, Grant Holt might have something to say about that. He scored a hat-trick last night, and he was voted Player of the Year last season, despite spending a lot of it starting the game as a substitute. For some reason or other, he and Calderwood didn't see eye to eye, and after earlier turning down a move to Bristol City, who went on to win automatic promotion instead of Forest, he asked for a transfer request this summer when apparently Forest refused to reward him for last season's exploits with an improved pay offer. Confusingly, even though they had tried to flog him to their promotion rivals, Forest then turned down Holt's request for a move, and now it seems all is rosy in the garden again as he has held clear-the-air talks with Calderwood, and is happy to play his part this season, even if it doesn't mean a regular starting place.
I don't understand why on earth Forest would be so stupid to let one of their best players leave for their promotion rivals. How myopic would that have been? If I were Holt I would have told the Club to get stuffed, but no, he snubbed City instead, citing his love for Forest, and said that he wanted to stay and fight for his place. That kind of attitude in this day and age is becoming rarer and rarer amongst professional footballers, so Forest would do very well to recognise that.
