After coming away with a draw against Manchester United on their home grounds, Nottingham Forest's "juvenile footballers" received an overwhelming ovation from the supporters. They also slapped their critics in the face through their actions and performances. 

Sept. 27, Matchday 8, they won 1:0 against Newcastle in an away game. 

Oct. 3, Matchday 9, they won 2:0 against Hull City, who performed unexpectedly well the previous season. 

Oct. 17, Matchday 10, they won 2:1 at home against Portsmouth. 

Oct. 25, Matchday 11, they drew 3:3 with Manchester City in an away game. 

Tony Twain's "juvenile footballers" went undefeated for eight matches after the fourth match Aug. 30. Their ranking in the league shot up from second to last to seventh. All the criticisms against them were silenced. Carl Spicer was the only one who continued to have doubts about Nottingham Forest's performances, as he always had. Every other media outlet had gone quiet.
