    ...is bound to score and get MOTM listening to this. He seems to have had the ball more than any other player on the pitch (listening on player).

    Maybe it seems that way because it takes five times as long to say his name than Kent or Bree...

    Not surprised he was mentioned a lot on commentary. They must have been worried where he was and wondering whether to send a search party out for him.

    It wasn't until his number went up to be subbed that Angus took him out of his pocket for the first time.

    That's one of the best responses I've ever read on here.

    Can only remember mentioning him for one header he should've scored from first half. Anonymous otherwise, due to some towering defensive performances. Glad Ahmedhodzic didn't come on as sub - I'd still be trying to say his name now!

    I see Jordy Hiwula-Mayifuila scored for Bradford again today.

    They do not seem to still be in the FA Cup, so you're safe for another year.

    Good to have you back. Was a real joy to have a proper commentary today. (Been at last few games, so not been on player).
    Welcome back, you do a great job Matt

    It's pronounced Hugh-La and he doesn't bother with the Mayifuila prefix so I wouldn't have minded too much ;)

    Great piece on Twitter. He featured on a missing persons notice, eventually found in MacDonalds pocket.

    I was listening to Radio Nottingham on the way down, and Brian Laws was saying how Forest often play in front of the opposition with no end product.

    Said Assombalonga could be the player to get beyond our defence and cause problems.

    I never really felt worried about losing yesterday. Forest had a little go after half time, but the reds were comfortable. Defence were solid, scowen just an engine and hourihane being hourihane. Williams had a great game in there too.

    Turned a comfortable point into a victory.
