Head Coach Steve Cooper says he was delighted with the way his players carried out the game plan as his side defeated Swansea City 5-1 at The City Ground.
Goals from Jack Colback, Alex Mighten and a Sam Surridge hat-trick ensured The Reds' ninth win in the last ten league games ahead of Tuesday's trip to Bournemouth.
Speaking after the fixture, Cooper mentioned how happy he was to see Forest stick to the game plan whilst also feeling his side could've found the net on even more occassions.
"The game plan was executed well by the players and we were happy for Swansea to have possession at times because we know they can concede chances and goals.
"We knew that when we won the ball back we could create openings and to score five goals is great but I also feel we should've scored more, we could have been 5-1 up at half time.
"It's brilliant for Sam Surridge to get a hat-trick and I'm really pleased for him. I'm really pleased with the commitment to the game plan, they believed in it and stuck to it brilliantly and got a good result from it.
"I challenged the players at half time to be a better team with the ball and we controlled the game without the ball which is a hard thing to do. It's one thing controlling the game with the ball but it takes a great team to control without the ball and we did that brilliantly.
"Credit also goes to Alex Mighten and I was so pleased he could get on the pitch. I really believe in him as a player and his time will come here.
"It's been a good day's work and now we stick to the plan and prepare for Tuesday night. You live for these moments and we can't wait for the next game, we'd play tonight if we could.
"We get back to work tomorrow, we recover and we need to replicate what we showed at times today and do it even better."
