Bob Fossil
Nottingham's dirty secret
He's arguably becoming our most important player. Ando is still the man of course.
The player we all dreamed of........I reckon he's here.

Been like a new signing this season hasn't he?
His finesse on the ball is a joy to behold and boy can he pick a pass
Jazda! Ibi!

Top bombing.
Absolutely bossed the midfield, looked like he'd never been gone, after playing a month dragging the Ivory Coast around Morocco, this lad is absolute quality.
If you cannot see what a match-fit Sangaré brings to the team, well, you're Stevie Wonder (with no disrespect to the Prince of Soul).

That free kick at the death, which Oliver brought back because Arsenal weren't quite ready, was sublime.
If it was an Arsenal freekick, Oliver wouldn't have brought it back.
That shows how biased he is.

Can we start saying he is rubbish in order to put off interested parties?

It was great to have him back yesterday and he slotted straight back in with another good performance.
He's probably the poster boy for being patient with new signings at the club, but looks a proper PL level player now

If (please god no) he were injured, would Yates be his obvious replacement? Just thinking about cover given how badly the balance of the team fell apart in his absence.

Sauce salad?
I think that's why we've struggled so much personally - we lost them both at the same time.

And the replacement in Douglas Luiz wasn't remotely fit.

Screened the back four, pinged the ball about, puffed on his pipe and snuffed-out pretty much everything the Arsenal tried to build.
Yes, it has taken him a bit of time, given some injuries, and malaria (!), to show what he can do, but the young man looks an absolute Rolls-Royce of a footballer, and what is better, he lets others play their natural game, as well.
You can't always say such money - 35m was it? - looks a bargain, but would you get better, spending the same amount? I am not sure.
The Ivorian looks every bit the accomplished Premier League midfielder, and he enhances Forest, every time he plays, and I am here for it!
Listen 'ere young man
Stuart Pearce
Also has a good shot on him. Next target, chip in with 5 plus goals a season.
Starting to feel like Sangare is our most important player, possibly alongside Sels.
Our record without him was very poor. Lost every game other than a very fortunate win against West Ham. Anderson has suddenly got back into form now he’s back. Last 8 games he’s played in the league we’ve won 5.
Hopefully he is here for years to come

Almost everything this season has been worse than last season. The glowing exception is Sangare. I always maintained that there was a very good player there but anything that could wrong for him did go wrong. He's fit and settled now and he's becoming the heart of the team. Apart from his own contributions, the CBs look much better for having him in front of them and Anderson moves up a level when S is beside him. Long may he reign.

He's just class.
He's still got a mistake in him but I'll let him off as they're becoming more infrequent & his overall play is fantastic.
All in all ......I think we're finally getting what we paid PSV £30m for. And more.

He keeps giving the ball away near our goal area. I would rather he was banned from our own half. He's great in attack
Cureboy
Geoff Thomas
Yep - he almost gave a goal away at 0-0 with an absolute brainfart. They probably should have scored from it and the game could've been very different. He needs to cut that out of his game.
He was ok yesterday, 6/7 out of 10. Those saying he was MOTM is abit over the top in my opinion. Jesus for me was excellent, absolutely bullied their defence and what a goal.

Sangare wasn’t alone in making a near-fatal mistake.
Aina allowed himself to be knocked over by Schade; Williams ball watched and forgot to run with Outtara; no-one marked Thiago at the back stick, or their centre back who had a dying minutes free header that he should have buried.
The strength of Sangare was that he immediately let his error go, was there to receive from Ola, play a lovely ball to release Ola and turn a defensive error into a goal scoring passage of play.
Other than the poor decision that didn’t result in a Brentford goal, Sangare and Anderson in front of our back 4 were damn near faultless.

Sangare's bravery on the ball will result in high net positive than negative in those deeper positions. I'll forgive him the odd mistake because for all the times he's played and had the ball in there, others would panic or give the ball aways far more often.
When he does make the occasional mistake he never lets it fluster him, he'll get back on the ball again next time and play like it never happened. He had to put the ball at risk in order to play Aina in for the goal and we would've been exposed had it not got it right.
He's another player that a manager can put in there and no it's boxed off and he hasn't got to worry about them.

That’s the frustration for me of how Dyche seems to work.
He has a lot of talented players, proper footballers, but he seems to shackle them into an over-rigid system of play.
For the 2 goals, and for that 25 minute period in the 1st half, the players seemed free to express themselves and did so to great effect.

He looks happy, he strides about looking fit as a fiddle and he knows how to play football.

Sangare exudes calm. Look at how he took his chance with the shot that went just wide. On balance it will do us more good than harm.
