Nottingham Forest's Henri Lansbury scored the winning goal against Sheffield WednesdayHenri Lansbury scores a header in the 37th minute to put Forest ahead in the first half  but Sheffield give a stern challenge to try to keep their unbeaten run alive with Steve May coming close three times before half time but keeper Karl Darlow continously makes fine saves to keep his side in the lead tp the end. Gray:

It shows how far we have came as a team, to be sat here disappointed, to feel we should have got a point and maybe even could have won. We dominated the second half and we just couldn’t get a break. Their goalkeeper was probably man of the match, that tells you something.

forestMichail Antonio heads in the first goal in the 17th minute to put Forest ahead and that is all for the first half. Antonio prods in the second in the 47th and Matty Fryatt’s header makes it three six minutes later. Britt Asombalonga seals the win in the 64th minute with a notch from close range. Pearce:

The most important thing for me is not the result, it is how quickly the new faces have settled into the team.I have to give credit to all the players who were already here, for making them feel welcome. But the new lads have settled in really, really well. It is the most pleasing thing for me about the start. You expect it to take time for a new player to fit into the squad. But the new signings have really hit the ground running.
