Forest might be serious

by Chelseamf™®© (U1677)

Hell of achievement to leave Brentford with a win AND a cleansheet.
Stopping Wissa & Mbuemo from getting on the scoresheet.

For context Brentford hadn't lost at home this season prior to this match, with a tally of 8 wins and 1 draw. 5 straight wins and the best home record in the league.

They've matched their total wins from past two seasons, one point away their total last season and not even halfway yet...
Which is wild.

Who’ve they got next up?

Nah. They couldn't even beat City

They will regret giving too much respect to this recent City side.
This so happened to be the match Cal didn't play. Chuffed for him getting 90 minutes week in, week out...staying on pitch over the Forest captain.
Callum Hudson-Odoi is a big fish...

Nuno did it at Wolves with back to back 7th placed finishes.
He has built a solid defence (although back 4 now rather than the 3 at Forest), the 'keeper has been one of the best in the league. He uses the flanks for attacking threat well and gets the best out of his striker (Raul Jimenez at Wolves, Chris Wood at Forest).

Tbh I think with their underlying stats there's a high chance they'll drop off eventually - you invite pressure and that will often come back to bite you. They're doing really well though and all credit to them for building a good squad and Nuno for using it well.

To be it feels like a perfect storm - probably not sustainable long term but admirable for now and worth celebrating.
