Hello and welcome to Monday's live Nottingham Forest blog from Nottinghamshire Live.
Reds fans will be waking up in good spirits after seeing their team beat Birmingham City 3-0 at the City Ground on Saturday.
It was a totally dominant performance from Forest as Joe Lolley, Lewis Grabban and Michael Dawson all got on the scoresheet. In the end it might have been six with Grabban, Samba Sow and Sammy Ameobi missing glorious chances.
Forest can now turn their attention to Wednesday night's trip to Charlton Athletic and we'll have the early build-up to that game.
We will also have any other news from the City Ground with players still able to leave the club for teams in Leagues One, Two and in Europe until September 2.
So stick with us throughout the day and feel free to join the conversation.

Forest duo in team of the week
Two players have received team of the week recognition for their performances against Birmingham City.
Virtually every player in red was excellent in the 3-0 win at the City Ground on Saturday.
The entire back four could all make a case to be man of the match, while Samba Sow and Alfa Semedo were especially dominant in midfield.
Joe Lolley and Lewis Grabban got on the scoresheet and Sammy Ameobi was a threat down the right wing, but the attacking trio missed out.
Instead, central defender Michael Dawson and left-back Jack Robinson made the WhoScored.com Championship team of the week.
Dawson, who scored his first Forest goal since 2004, received a rating of 8.0, with Robinson’s performance rated at 7.9.
Kenny full of praise for Reds
All over the pitch Forest were much, much better than the Blues but there was one area in particular which impressed me the most.
And that came in the middle of the park.
Very often the path a game goes down will be decided by what happens in the engine room, who gets the upper hand.
In Ben Watson, Alfa Semedo and Samba Sow, Forest were dominant.
Grabban on dealing with a summer of change
Adapting to change is a strength of Lewis Grabban’s.
The Nottingham Forest striker is playing for his 12th club at the age of 31 as he embarks on his second season at the City Ground.
It is only 13 months since he joined from Bournemouth for £6m, but Grabban is now playing for his third Reds manager in Sabri Lamouchi, after seeing Aitor Karanka and Martin O’Neill depart.
Grabban cares little for the past though, when it comes to seeing different people in the boss’s office and new faces at the training ground, with 12 signings made this summer.
Season tickets almost gone
More than 20,200 have been sold so far for the current campaign, with the club having released an extra 500 due to “interest remaining high”.
Sales have been going well and there are now less than 300 left available for purchase, with the remainder expected to be snapped up quickly.
Forest players snubbed
Surely there should be at least one Forest player in the EFL team of the week!
Meeting fans
John Bostock and Samba Sow are meeting fans right now at the new club shop in the Nottingham Tourism Centre. Fair to say it’s proving popular.
Season tickets selling fast
Forest have announced there are only 300 season cards left up for grabs as they urge supporters to buy quickly.
Reading show support
Reading have backed Yakou Meite after the striker called out racist abuse he received on social media following the 3-0 win over Cardiff.
The Ivory Coast international was a second-half substitute for the Royals, and saw his late penalty saved in the Sky Bet Championship match at the Madejski Stadium.
The 23-year-old later posted a screenshot of the racist abuse sent to him, with the caption: “I don’t think i need to speak”.
Reading showed the club’s support with a defiant message and picture of Meite celebrating.
The post on Twitter read: “We won’t give oxygen to racist comments sent to this man via social media this afternoon. Instead, we will let a picture tell a thousand words - ‘We’ve got Meite... Yakou Meite...’.”
In response, Meite welcomed the show of solidarity, tweeting: “Thanks everyone for the support, we are all together thanks again.”
