CC säjer: "It was a really positive response to our defeat against Walsall in the week, we deserved the win and the spirit and atmosphere in the dressing room is fantastic”.
"To score first gives us the advantage and the belief in ourselves and the second goal was crucial. Brighton are a talented team, they have technically good players that can hurt you.
It is hard to pick out one of our players, as a pack they were fantastic and when we went down to ten men they were magnificent."
Om Sammy Clingans röda kort i början på andra halvlek: "It was a harsh decision, it happened right in front of me and he got a slight touch on the ball but it was slightly late, which is a yellow card. It was a booking but not a red but we won't appeal, it will come under the category of 'careless and wreckless' which covers a multitude of things.
"It has been a good night and we now have a fantastic weekend ahead of us, we can sit and see what the others do."
Hört från motståndarnas supportrar: "Forest were the best team to have played here for years in my opinion".
"I think that Forest were the best team we have played this season"
"I saw it as Men against Boys. They always seemed to have a spare man, even when they went down to ten men. Just too good for us, no shame in that".
"Forest are a class apart from everyone else, and will win the league".
