Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Ethan Horvath says it is a “luxury” to play behind such a sound defence.
Horvath is playing in the absence of the suspended Brice Samba and kept his second successive clean sheet as the Reds overcame Bristol City 2-0 at the City Ground thanks to goals from Brennan Johnson and James Garner.
The American is certainly taking his chance with both hands and is set to play again against Sheffield United on Friday as Samba completes his three-match ban.
"I'm very happy," Horvath told the Forest website.
"My defence in the last two games have been excellent. Preston away was a tough game and we were disappointed not to win, but we were happy with the clean sheet.
"We had to get back to our best today and from kick-off we were right up for it. Their goalkeeper had a great game, I can remember three top saves off the top of my head.
"It's a luxury to play with a defence like we have, with three big centre-halves and two wing-backs who fly forward.
"I will enjoy this next week coming up, I try to enjoy every day. The atmosphere was really good, especially when the stadium is sold out."
