Dilane Bakwa runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 41. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Chris Wood sends Nottingham Forest through
Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Chris Wood obliged against Fulham. 3‑2 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Nottingham Forest.

Cruel end for Fulham as Nottingham Forest pounce
There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Nottingham Forest scored in the 93th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Chris Wood scores twice — 8.70
Two goals and a mark of 8.70 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Zyan Blake, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.92
A mark of 7.92 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Morgan Gibbs-White in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Nottingham Forest this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The crowd has taken to Gustavo Sá
At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
