A welcome boost for Nottingham Forest saw Morgan Gibbs-White return to action against Ipswich Town.
The Reds won the game 1-0 at the City Ground to climb up to sixth place in the Premier League table after 13 games.
There were a number of good performances from a Forest perspective during a very professional display against a decent Ipswich team.
The Tractor Boys have taken well to life in the Premier League, with four points recently claimed from games against Tottenham and Manchester United.
The pleasing aspect ahead of kick-off was seeing Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson both return to the starting line-up after missing the trip to Arsenal through injury.
Gibbs-White in particular was a real miss and it was great to see him back in action for the Reds against Ipswich.
After the game, the vice-captain spoke with the press and he had praise for one Forest star who he just loves playing alongside.

Morgan Gibbs-White raves about Chris Wood
Wood is getting better and better and is ageing like a fine bottle of decent wine!

Bryan Roy now has company at the top of the scoring charts, with Wood now equaling the Dutchman’s record of Premier League goals for Forest.
Gibbs-White has admitted that he absolutely loves playing with Wood and has made quite the claim about where he ranks in terms of strikers he’s played with.
The Forest vice-captain told BBC Radio Nottingham: “He’s incredible, I love playing with him. He’s the best striker I’ve played with throughout my career so far.
“He really is incredible, I always love playing with him because you just know where he’s going to be, and what he’s going to do. He’s a handful for defenders and hopefully, he can keep this run going.”
Wood richly deserves Forest goalscoring record in the Premier League
It hasn’t come just yet, but Wood will now become the club’s all-time leading goalscorer in the Premier League era at some point.
The player signed from Newcastle was forced to deal with a backdrop of critique when he signed for £15 million and that felt largely unfair.
Wood has always done a professional job in his career and that money spent hardly seemed a lot despite his advancing years.
Nuno Espirito Santo has done wonders for the player’s career and he’s always made no secret that he’s the preferred striker of the Forest head coach.
With Gibbs-White making these comments, it’s clear he’s a leader on and off the pitch, with more goals set to come this season for the talisman.
Wood is extremely important to the Reds and it will be a nice moment when the player claims the deserved record for goals in the Premier League for Forest.
