Ethan Horvath was "very happy" to record his second clean sheet in two games as The Reds beat Bristol City 2-0 at The City Ground.
Goals either side of half-time from Brennan Johnson and James Garner secured a big three points for Forest, who now sit ninth in the Championship.
The Reds kept back-to-back clean sheets, having been held to a goalless draw against Preston North End in midweek.
"I'm very happy," Horvath said.
"My defence in the last two games have been excellent. Preston away was a tough game and we were disappointed not to win, but we were happy with the clean sheet.
"We had to get back to our best today and from kick-off we were right up for it. Their goalkeeper had a great game, I can remember three top saves off the top of my head.
"It's a luxury to play with a defence like we have, with three big centre-halves and two wing-backs who fly forward.
"I will enjoy this next week coming up, I try to enjoy every day. The atmosphere was really good, especially when the stadium is sold out."
