The Verdict

The decision to play Johnson on the last man last night worked absolute wonders.

Forest had so much pace in transition and on the counter, and it made impossible for Barnsley to sit back and contain them.

He beat the offside trap on so many occasions, and the timing of each run was just superb.

This is a part of his game which has come up leaps and bounds in the last 18 months, and Forest fans will hope to see more of the same.
