Nottingham Forest: fans react to Burton win on Twitter

Nottingham Forest got off to a good start to the new season yesterday as they beat newly-promoted Burton Albion 4-3.  The game was a thrilling contest, with both teams constantly attacking right up until the final whistle.

Burton were perhaps unlucky to lose the game, but both teams could’ve won with the match being as open as it was.  Forest striker Britt Assombalonga, linked with a move away from the club, took the plaudits as he scored two goals and completed his first 90 minutes in over a year.

Most Forest fans were thrilled with the result:

Despite the result, other fans didn’t want to get too carried away and kept their feet firmly on the ground:

There was also an overwhelming sense of pride that Nottingham Forest had so many players that had come through the ranks playing in the first team yesterday:

Overall it was a very good day for Forest and their new manager Philippe Montanier, following the disappointment of last season.

Fans seem pleased with the amount of youth prospects coming through to the first team, with many fans specifically mentioned Oliver Burke as a player with a lot of potential.  Britt Assombalonga scored two goals and, if Forest manage to hold onto the striker this month, they look like a team who could do well this season.
