Nottingham Forest destroyed QPR 4-0 last night to secure their fifth away win of the 2019/20 campaign.
A first-half header from Tobias Figueiredo set the Reds on their way. Goals from Lewis Grabban, Joao Carvalho and Alfa Semedo all in the last nine minutes put the seal on the victory.
Boss Sabri Lamouchi will have been delighted with the latest performance from his team. The Reds won comfortably when in reality they were in second gear for a large part of the contest.
One man who keeps getting better with each game is Matty Cash. Thrust into right-back, the youngster once again showed just how capable he is in defence.
The 22-year-old is naturally a winger. Injuries to Carl Jenkinson and Tendayi Darikwa have seen him forced into an unnatural role but his performances have been magnificent.
At QPR he was against Ryan Manning who loves to maraud forward. He never got into his stride last night, largely due to Cash’s combative performance.
The academy graduate is now one of the first names on the team-sheet and the regular right-backs will have a big job to reclaim their places in the team.
Following another impressive display, we looked at a selection of tweets from Forest supporters regarding Matty Cash:
