FOREST boss Paul Hart was delighted with their first away win of the season, and also encouraged that both strikers have ended a barren spell.

"We have been threatening all season and been unlucky on occasions and caused our own problems on others, but I am absolutely delighted to get this win," he said.

"We thoroughly deserved it. I am especially pleased for David Johnson, who has spent so long without scoring. Stern John ended a barren spell on Saturday, and for Johnson I was specially pleased today.

It was getting on his mind a bit, but I thought his play, apart from his goal, was particularly good.

"Our strikers will feel better for it, but it is not an easy division to score goals against.

"We have had a tough start this season, playing some hard teams and, with that in mind, I am very pleased that we are where we are," the manager added.
