Nottingham Forest secured their first three points of 2020/21 with a 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park. Following the game, supporters took to Twitter to rave about on-loan defender Cyrus Christie.
The 28-year-old checked in from Fulham last month, having helped the Cottagers win promotion back to the Premier League during the 2019/20 campaign.
Christie made his third appearance for the Reds and turned in his best performance in the Garibaldi, with Chris Hughton placing his faith in the Republic of Ireland international.
Forest battled really well against a Blackburn side who had been free-scoring prior to Saturday’s contest. The Reds did a number on the opposition with hard work and desire in abundance.
Christie was part of everything good about the performance from Hughton’s team. The proven Championship performer showed superb energy going forward and was resolute defensively.
Forest will need more performances of this nature from Christie if they are to continue climbing the Championship table and the Blackburn result must be the start of a decent run.
Following his standout performance against Blackburn, Forest supporters took to Twitter to rave about Christie’s strong showing.
Here is a selection of Tweets from the Reds fanbase on the performance of Christie.
