1. W: Chris Hughton
It was a dream start for the new Forest boss as Joe Lolley scored a last-minute winner against Blackburn. "Did I see the goal coming? Probably not. I thought the game was going to be 0-0, but we finished strong, which was good," said Hughton after the game. Photo: Jan Kruger

3. W: Marc Bola
Many Boro fans will have forgotten about the 22-year-old left-back who was loaned out to Blackpool last season. Bola has now performed well against Barnsley and Reading and has forced his way into the side. Photo: Getty Images
4. L: Ashley Fletcher
Last season's top scorer is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury. Warnock said Fletcher is unlikely to play again until the end of January. Photo: Richard Heathcote
