Head coach Steve Cooper was delighted with the manner in which Nottingham Forest returned to winning ways at the City Ground.
After a flat display at Preston North End in midweek, the Reds responded in style with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Bristol City.
Goals from Brennan Johnson and James Garner clinched the three points, and the hosts could have scored more had Robins goalkeeper Daniel Bentley not made some terrific saves.
