It was an upbeat Ange Postecoglou after Nottingham Forest's draw at Burnley. Victory over Real Betis in the Europa League on Wednesday - on Forest's return to Europe for the first time since 1995-96 - would underline the progress he is talking about. Chances created, especially for Dilane Bakwa in the first half, highlighted the kind of quick, incisive football Postecoglou wants to play.
It was an upbeat Ange Postecoglou after Nottingham Forest's draw at Burnley.
Yes, they may not have won and the new manager is still waiting for his first victory - albeit he is only three games into his reign - but there are clear signs of what he wants.
Victory over Real Betis in the Europa League on Wednesday - on Forest's return to Europe for the first time since 1995-96 - would underline the progress he is talking about.
Chances created, especially for Dilane Bakwa in the first half, highlighted the kind of quick, incisive football Postecoglou wants to play.
Those who have worked closely with the former Tottenham boss told BBC Sport he would not wait to impress his style and philosophies, and Postecoglou said Forest looked like one of his teams at times in the second half.
It would be wrong to disagree as it was clear how different expansive Forest already are to the side Nuno Espirito Santo took to seventh in the Premier League last season.
This comes less than two weeks after Postecoglou was appointed Nuno's successor so, despite the winless start, Forest should be in for an exciting ride.
