'Different feeling': Nottingham Forest fans react to going top of the Championship after win over Stoke City

Nottingham Forest went top of the Championship table as they came from behind to beat Stoke City 3-2 - and Reds fans are loving it!

Forest were poor in the first half and fell behind when Tom Ince’s deflected effort fell kindly for Lee Gregory to score his first goal for Stoke.

Michael Dawson went off holding his ribs but Joe Lolley levelled two minutes later when Jack Butland dropped Matty Cash’s cross.

Cash played his part again two minutes after the break, sending across the ball for Sammy Ameobi to head home.

And Lewis Grabban made it 3-1 just after the hour. There was still time for Stoke to set up a nervy finish when James McClean pulled one back, but Forest held on.

Here's what fans were saying as Forest went top of the table for the first time since Stuart Pearce was in charge in 2014.
