Chris Wood scored his eighth goal in 10 games and was praised by Shay Given after the game on Saturday.

Although his goals haven’t gone unnoticed there have been a number of other top performers for the Forest.

Gary Neville hailed Elliot Anderson against Leicester, whilst Nikola Milenkovic and Murillo have been stunning defensively.

Forest will remain grounded under Nuno Espirito Santo with the head coach only simply keen to get his team playing better with each passing week.

Ben Foster delivers verdict on Nottingham Forest start

The hard work for Forest is maintaining the current form for a prolonged period.

Forest have a tough run of fixtures in December with both Manchester clubs, Aston Villa and Tottenham all to play.

Lots of pundits are starting to change their minds on all things Forest and Foster has shared something that might act as a word of caution for Espirito Santo.

He said on the Cycling GK podcast: “Honestly, top 10 is an incredible season. Top 10 is incredible for them. If they can get in that top eight, it’s a world-class season. The big test will come gone Christmas time, so once you get to that sort of 35, 40-point marker which sort of normally gets you safe, it’s kind of, you don’t mean to do it, but the handbrake just comes up a little bit.

“Subconsciously. It just happens, right? Subconsciously, the cigar comes out and you are thinking, we are safe, the job is done. Because Forest’s objective this season genuinely like probably another dozen teams is to stay in the league, it sounds bad, but higher up, the manager, the owner, it will be consolidation.

“We consolidate this season, we don’t get relegated, as simple as that, so it will be the big test at Christmas time, but they have got very good lads in the team is what I will say. So it wouldn’t surprise me if they did get top eight.”

Forest next six fixtures could define the Premier League season

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with getting carried away from a Forest perspective.

In the two previous years back in the Premier League things have been a struggle for the majority of the time.

As a result, it’s nice that Forest are some way out of the bottom three and instead can start to look up.

However, tougher challenges are yet to come with a host of top teams to play when December comes around and Christmas comes on the horizon.

As you can see, Forest face a really tough run of fixtures in the next few weeks.

However, after the November international break, it’s full steam ahead until March and Forest can really try and get into their stride.

The constant breaking for international football stops and Forest might be able to get even more momentum on their side.

With points on the board there is nothing to fear and it will be fascinating to see if what Foster says is right later in the season.
