Oops, I meant when he went up in class with Nottingham Forrest. Maybe is the team setup that brings out the best of him.
No prob, I was just feeling petty this morning. Mondays, right? He actually hasn't made a single first-team appearance for Forest yet. His only Championship appearances (2 of them) came in 2013-14 with Leeds.

I didn't realize it when I posted, but that's 2 goals in a 4-3 win. Almost immediately, Dons drew back level. Robbie Muirhead’s picked out Gboly Ariyibi unmarked on the edge of the box before the winger’s curling left-footed strike found the back of the net. 2-2 A minute before the half-time whistle Ariyibi scored his second of the evening. The American combined with Thomas-Asante on the edge of the box before tucking the ball past Eastwood and into the back of the net to give Dons the lead at the break. 2-3. https://www.mkdons.com/news/2017/november/report-oxford-united-3-4-milton-keynes-dons/
Not surprisingly, Man of the Match: Gboly Ariyibi - 8 - An excellent brace just before half time, and terrified his Oxford full back. http://www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/sport...gs-gboly-s-brace-brightens-dons-day-1-8235684 The goals (starting at :52):
