Stonking Tackle

If there was an award for tackle of the season then Phillips winning the ball to set up Alioski for the goal would be a contender.

Forest player on the ball. In comes Phillips and BOOM. Forest player all ends up and the ball in the back of the net. Absolutely first class.

Yes it was a fantastic tackle and the fact it then led to a goal is even better.

He's still a work in progress and there are areas that he can work on but the lad is improving in front of our eyes and growing in confidence and experience.

He is a physical presence and a good foil for the smaller but nimble O Kane. Strikes a decent ball too from time to time so plenty to be positive where he is concerned.

I have been very critical of Phillips in the past but thought he was excellent yesterday.

Hope it continues as like the lad and hope he can bring this sort of consistency to his game

It was a great tackle. Got to admit, I still don't see a player in Phillips. Doesn't get on the ball enough as a midfielder, his passing stats are almost some of the lowest in the team.

But it's working at the moment

His passing needs a lot of work tends to give to many silly balls away but can,t fault his efforts
