"We're doing it his way now and his way is really good. If we stick by each other and we stick by him then we will go a long way for sure. "Having a pre-season under this manager and him trusting me is massive. Wherever I play I will do it to the best of my ability. "He and his staff have been top so far. They have ingrained good spirit and a real good feeling here and I think that translates to the pitch."Fraser provided an assist for his side in Sunday's draw at Portman Road. The 31-year-old cut in and send a quality ball into the box, where youngster Jay Robinson was on hand to head into the net for his first senior goal."Jay has been unbelievable," Fraser added.

He reminds me of when I was that young, but he's probably better than me!"

Chris Wood allays attacking concerns as Nottingham Forest rout Brentford
If it is any consolation for Keith Andrews, things can only get better after Brentford were brushed aside by Nottingham Forest in his first game in charge. It was an eye-opening lesson for the new head coach, as Nuno Espírito Santo and his players showed they are not one-season wonders. Chris Wood scored twice and Dan Ndoye netted on his debut to finish the match as a contest before 45 minutes had elapsed. Brentford could not cope with the hosts, who dictated the match from the start, while the visitors offered little indication of what style they plan to play under Andrews, who could take little enjoyment from Igor Thiago's late penalty. Nuno complained in the buildup about the lack of summer transfer activity. He has since been appeased by the arrivals of Omari Hutchinson and James McAtee, who were paraded in front of the supporters before kick-off to provide a boost to the home support. Forest scored once in seven pre-season matches, producing five goalless draws. Those statistics were made redundant within five minutes when Wood reacted quickest to a bouncing ball in the box from a corner, after Brentford failed to clear, to direct home. Nuno looks set to get a new striker in the coming days in the form of Arnaud Kalimuendo from Rennes but the New Zealander offered a reminder that his 20 Premier League goals last season were not a fluke. What Andrews would have done for the talismanic forwards of 2024-25 but Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo were not available. The latter is at Manchester United and the former has at least one foot out of the door. It was a less than ideal situation for his first game in senior management and his team sat too deep, giving Forest the opportunity to control proceedings. Considering Andrews' previous role as set-piece coach, the manner in which the goal was conceded will have greatly irritated him. Nuno wants his team to dominate possession more often and Brentford were willing to allow Forest to settle into this new style. Morgan Gibbs-White was given space in which to receive the ball, further emphasising why Forest did everything within their power to stop him departing for Tottenham. Gibbs-White drifted into the areas he felt he could do most damage, picking up the ball and finding a forward pass to keep Brentford on the back foot. Andrews was constantly tested by Nuno, to see how quickly he could adapt his team. Forest's wingers swapped positions, Gibbs-White moved out wide at times and Ndoye spent time playing as a second central striker. If Andrews was under pressure before the start, Nuno was putting his tactical acumen in a vice. Forest had their own new era with Ndoye giving Forest fans more than a glimpse of what to expect after a summer move from Bologna. The Swiss attacker showed trickery on the wing but provided more than anticipated with a smart run to meet a Gibbs-White cross into the box and head beyond Caoimhin Kelleher. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion The debutant goalkeeper picked the ball out of the net for a third occasion in first-half injury-time when Wood latched on to a through ball from the superb Elliot Anderson. The striker was not tracked and calmly rounded the goalkeeper before tapping into the empty net and wheeled away in front of an ecstatic home crowd. Knowing the game was done, despite Thiago's calm penalty after Ibrahim Sangaré handballed, the tempo in the second half dropped, giving Andrews time to ponder what he will need to change going forward. Jordan Henderson was given a debut off the bench and his experience will be vital because it is apparent that Andrews is learning on the job, while Nuno's methods once again look assured. Life will become more difficult once the Europa League starts but Forest do not give off the impression of being worried.
