And with four home wins on the bounce, it looks like we are getting there. When you have that, it gives you half a yard head-start in a game. It was a good result against MK Dons on Saturday. I'm pleased for Nelson Oliveira and Ryan Mendes getting on the scoresheet, just as I'm pleased when anyone scores a goal for Nottingham Forest. We're not going to...
