Hi there.

There have certainly been a few more smiles around the place this week.

We really needed the win against Chesterfield. We felt as if it was coming, particularly after the bad luck we've had recently. We had to start winning again - we did just that.

Chesterfield is only a small ground, but there was an excellent atmosphere. It's a bit of a derby game, so the Chesterfield fans were in good voice while our fans travelled in their numbers, as always.

Junior Agogo got both our goals. He is a very loud bloke, entertaining too. As a player he's strong on the ball, has decent pace and is good technically. He has everything you need to be a top striker.

I got my first start since coming back from my hamstring injury. I thought I did OK. I think I spent the most of the first half just running up and down and getting the occasional touch. It was like a pre-season game for me, just trying to stay with the pace.

It's always nice to contribute in a game and I was pleased with my pass which set Junior free for the second goal. He tried to go round the keeper but was fouled. He scored the penalty though.

I knew their defence were holding a high line so I knew the pass would be on. I got the ball and without looking clipped it over the top for Junior to run on to. He looked about 30 yards offside because they were defending so high.

They pulled a goal back, which made it quite nerve wracking, especially as we have experienced conceding late on recently. I was subbed off towards the end, but I could not watch. I went to the changing room and prayed that the boys would come in celebrating. Luckily they were.

I'm not sure I could have lasted 90 minutes. I was blowing pretty hard. With soft-tissue injuries, you are more likely to do more damage when you are fatigued, so it was better that I came off.

After getting that win, we now need to go on a run. Four of our next five games are at home - if we can get maximum points from those then we will be in a good position.

We are playing Huddersfield on Saturday, then Doncaster on Tuesday. Six points from those two games would be a massive lift ahead of our match at Scunthorpe the following Saturday. They have pulled ahead of us but we need to keep putting pressure on them and the teams around us.

Aside from football, I bought a puppy on Wednesday. It's a four month old Rottweiler called Levi. The missus and I have been looking for one on the internet for ages and we've finally got one. His head comes up to just below my knee but his paws are about the size of my hand - he's going to be a big boy. He's certainly taking my mind off football.

My uncle used to have a Rottweiler, so I have been used to being around one. I think they have had some bad press. If we look after him and treat him right then I'm sure he'll be fine.

Do you think the Forest squad is strong enough to see us through to automatic promotion? How would the squad do in the Championship? Richard Roebuck

We are definitely strong enough to get automatic promotion. If we do get into the Championship, then we would need a few additions. David Prutton is up at the end of the season, so we'd need him to stay. We are quite a young squad, so we would need some more experienced players. Bradford have Dean Windass, we could do with someone like him. Players who know what it's about.

I find it absolutely ridiculous that certain sections of the supporters are shouting for the sacking of Colin Calderwood. Does this affect the players and does it distract the manager from achieving his long-term goal?
Barry

Fans can be fickle. One week he's the best manager ever, the next they want him out. It's the same with the players. The gaffer's goal is promotion and he's certainly got the backing of the players. The fans have seen us lose our ten point gap at the top of the league - they are entitled to have their say. But we need them to get behind us. We have shown we can play some good football and go on a run. We are still up there.

How frustrating was it for Joe Kinnear to sign you then completely ignore you? Did you ever consider leaving?
Mike

No, I never thought about leaving. I would always stay and fight for my place. When I came to Forest, I thought I would be Andy Reid's replacement. I thought he would be leaving earlier. As for not playing, we were fighting against relegation and the gaffer went for more experienced players rather then younger ones. That might have been his downfall.
