He seems like the loveliest guy you’ll ever meet 
Delighted to see him getting some goals and plaudits after a difficult couple of years

I don't remember seeing anything on a new contract (not to say it isn't the case). Transfermarkt has his contract expiring summer 2027.

It's following Chris Waddle's in Turin in 1990, and one of mine somewhere in High Wycombe in 2006 (ish). Scientists are concerned that all three may return as meteors.

Just watched the extended highlights and have only now noticed that he was actually moving away from goal for his first - that is one helluva header.

He dropped off his marker really well and still managed to head the ball accurately and with power.

I don't think he scores that header a season or so ago. I would Imagine he's watched Woody or had some pointers from him as he's an expert at it.
Although you're reducing the power, the key is getting a bit of loop on it. I should have been a better header of the ball for my height but I did crack the art of looping headers over keepers when I was quite young. Once you've sussed it, it becomes a very good weapon. Surprisingly Dom is a good architect of it too.

After his first goal the first thing he does is run over pointing at Bakwa giving the credit. Then he points at MGW after the second too. A generous fella!

Dom's look so much like they're completely unintentional and random, but I suspect they're not. Defenders and goalies just can't keep them out of the net.

I’m sure Cloughie once said the first thing someone should do after scoring a goal is go and thank the person who made it for them. Whether he always did that himself I have no idea, of course, but I agree it’s great when players do this and I also noticed Taiwo do it.
It’s one reason why „Assist“ statistics became a thing, to recognise those whose brilliance creates a goal (so sometimes, a striker just has to bundle it in with any old body-part).
Taiwo has always done that though. But then, he does seem a genuinely decent and humble bloke (and I remember similar from him, when I watched him at 1. FC Union Berlin, especially the season before he came to Forest when he scored at a rate of virtually one-in-two matches).
In fact, actually, see post #32 of this very thread:

He's always been good in the air to be fair to him. Scored a couple of decent headers at Stamford Bridge in our first season.

Is there ever recorded who got the assist of the assist? I think that would be a really interesting stat to look at and discuss. A player with high numbers here should be called a dominator or something. I wonder in our team who that player would be.
I do know that sometimes "secondary assists" - which is what I think that means - are recorded?
