Our win against Forest put us top of League One which is just brilliant and not what we predicted at the start of the season!

We won the game 1-0 and it was a bit of a strange game, it was quite hectic. It was live on Sky which makes it special. We also had the biggest crowd of the season which helps make the atmosphere good. You have to treat it like a normal game, despite it being on TV.

The win against Forest also gave us 8 wins in a row which is a club record. Now we expect to do well and win every game. No one expected us to be top at the beginning of the season, but obviously there’s a lot of football left to be played this season.

The game before Forest was away to Gillingham and we won that 2-1. It was quite a scrappy game and they knocked it long. They had a chance just before half time and missed, and after that it was all us really.

Everyone is playing really well, fighting to keep their place. The manager has bought a few players in so everyone knows if they don’t put in a good performance there’ll be someone else ready to jump at the chance.

I saw bits and pieces of the England game against Poland, and from what I saw, they were playing a lot better than the Austrian game.

Our next game is away to Doncaster and let’s hope we can make it 9 wins in a row!
