Really fun goal for Mighten. Long ball from the keeper - Mighten anticipates it better, and is faster, gets a little touch, heads it forward, muscles off a defender who fully grabs his arm, and survives a collision with the keeper but keeps it on frame into the empty net. He wanted that badly, and it showed. Made it 5-1. He subbed in for Surridge, who had a hat trick, so it only seems fitting that he score. Samba had just three saves and didn't get good ratings.

Triple sub in the 84th minute, right after Bournemout go up 1-0 on a set piece. Mighten comes on as they chase an equalizer and their last hopes of automatic promotion, with Laryea and Lolley.
Ref very generously chooses not to issue a red to Forest's Spence on a DOGSO foul with no attempt to play the ball, just an extended arm hug and drag.
Spectacular pass leads to epic missed shot for Forest from eight yards out. Two Forest players well offside, so missing the most important chance of your career will be forgotten, dude. Mighten was trying to make the same run, but chose to be onside for some reason.
Last shot of the game was Samba attempting an incredible flick-on into the upper corner that just missed. Yes, the goalie almost had a legendary goal, but he missed and should be benched for Horvath immediately. Bournemouth promoted. Scott Parker is good at this managing thing.

Trying to sharpen up some bench guys for the playoffs? Either way, a couple of nice mentions from the Forest Twitter hype man: 20' Mighten beats Greaves down the right and breaks into the area but Hull manage to clear his dangerous low cross#HUL 0-0 #NFFC— Nottingham Forest (@NFFC) May 7, 2022 43' Lolley reaches the left byline and cuts the ball back for Mighten whose close-range shot is blocked by McLoughlin#HUL 0-0 #NFFC— Nottingham Forest (@NFFC) May 7, 2022
Mighten played the full 90. Each team had a successful penalty in stoppage time for a 1-1 draw. Sheffield United up next in the playoffs.
