I told you Britt was a risk

I did warn you that Pearce had made a duff signing and should have gone for Billy Sharp. I'm now being proved correct as Sharp struggles to maintain his 1 in 3 return while Britt smashes 4 goals in 3 games.

The fact that reportedly Premier League teams are kicking themselves over missing out on him only adds weight to my argument that you've got yourselves the next Jason Lee. Or Jean Claude Darchville if you will

At least both strikers are bound to net a hat trick against Derby though

Nothing like a veiled apology

He looks as though he's worth every penny, and I'm sure he will only get more prolific as the team gels. Would be very surprised if he doesn't bag 25 goals this season, hopefully more

The interesting point from a tactical perspective is that our regular midfield goalscorer's haven't got off the mark yet. Last season's top scorer was Andy Reid I believe with 10-11 goal's.

I think we are going to score a hat full of goal's this season, as to where that is going to get us, only time will tell.

Assombalonga or Ulloa, Blackstarr??

For me the most impressive thing about Britt is his hold up play. Yes he's quick, strong, great at shooting and heading, but he's also very clever and brings the wingers into play rather than trying to do it all himself. Alongside Fryatt we have two of the hardest working strikers I've seen at Forest. Hopefully they can keep scoring too.

Just looking at the season stats for Britt on the Forest website. 3 shots on target. 4 goals.

Two very different players, but I'd take Assombalonga any day looking at his first 3 games - pace, power, composure - he looks different class and worth the money

At one point in the game against Reading, he had 5 players on him, half the out field ffs

He will brush aside 2 players with ease, 3 players make it a little more difficult for him.

I don't know if it's a bit of striker stereotype but I never really expect the ones who are decent goal scorers to be hard workers, but it seems Brit is an exception on this front and is a proper hard working team player. Long may it continue

Hopefully it is a over of effort that he will maintain over the whole season. He seems like he wants to keep progressing and doesn't want to wait around. Still think that there is room for improvement in the interplay between the forwards and midfield. When it clicks, I think that Forest fans are in for a treat.
