Commanding and no silly stuff, which tells me he's learnt his lesson.
Great saves. So assured. He was magnificent tonight.

He did wind up the Fulham fans with a few mins to go. When he had the ball in his hands to drop kick it he was goading them with his free hand. I f***ing loved it though

Can't take that out of him completely, as long as it's controlled. Haha.

So there was one time when Mitrobellend was trying to stop Samba releasing the ball, he held his cool with it and just kept trying.
A few weeks back, he'd probably have slapped him.

Exactly. If he keeps it to that then we're all happy

Me too. Absolutely superb.

Exactly. My thoughts when, early in the game, Mitrovic impeded him and was just brushed away. Very controlled and imperious.

Can't remember which Fulham player it was that had the shot, but that one which is heading for the corner...he gets across his line so quickly to make the save. Absolutely top class.

Yes, he had a couple of attempts at goading him early on. Samba just ignored him.
Some good saves and very safe hands. Every cross looked like it as aimed at him.

Stepped up when it mattered last night. The fingertip to force Mirto to head over. The turn around the post which he made look easier than it was. The commanding of his area.
If we do go up, I'd be more than happy starting this fella in the Prem.

He is better than most Prem keepers already mate
Brice is class, always has been and as he develops as a footballer he will only get better. He will still have another 10 years as a keeper and if all of them were spent here I would not complain at all

Steve Chettle
Absolutely agree. I hope he's our first choice keeper for a very long time. Cult hero and a quality keeper.

Not a knock on Horvath, but still wild people wanted him to stick in the net over Samba. I think nearly every team in this league would swap their 'keeper for Samba and rightly so, he is quality.

I get why people wanted him punished, but he needed bringing back in as he was in the end, there is no debate around his quality. Apart from Emmerson of course.
It wasn't so much being punished even - he needed to get his head straight. The lashing out that we saw in the Stoke game had been building for a few weeks - if he'd been chucked straight back in first opportunity, would something like that have happened again? Especially given that opposition players now know/think that they can get to him (see: Mitrovic).
Obviously Samba is a better keeper than Horvath. As far as I've seen nobody disputes that - but Samba did need to sit on the bench for a few games and the way it was handled by Cooper was done almost to perfection and actively benefited both Samba and Forest long term, hopefully without impacting on Horvath.
Completely agree with that. And the period in goal for Horvath did a lot for his reputation I bet, if he were to move on for first team football I bet there would be a few Championship teams who saw those performances and would be willing to take a chance on him. It helps that Sky mention how he did nothing wrong to get dropped too (even if they do keep blaming the international break, whereas I think it was obvious Samba was always coming back in)
Speaking of international breaks. I think Brice will have his chance in a France squad before too long. Hopefully as a result of strong performances in the Premier league with us.
They have some good keepers bur one or two are knocking on a bit and his playing out from the back suits a team like France.

The international break allowed them to make the change and have a reason which was nothing to do with Ethan's performances.
I don't think we'd have kept a clean sheet vs Fulham without Samba showing for the ball and with his game management.

Screw France. He needs to represent Congo.

Then we'd never see him. Be very careful what you wish for.
