It was only a couple of weeks ago that boos and chants of "getting sacked in the morning" were being directed towards Fabian Hurzeler by a small section of Brighton fans.
But, as we all know, things can change very quickly in football.
The Seagulls had looked goal-shy during their six-game winless run, scoring just three times. In welcome contrast for their fans, they have now scored four in their last two.
And what will be even more promising for Hurzeler - though frustrating too - is that his side could have had more against Forest.
Kaoru Mitoma should have added another shortly after Danny Welbeck netted Brighton's second, but he took a touch too many and his effort was smothered by Matz Sels – one of many times the keeper came to Forest's rescue.
A rapid reaction from the Belgian keeper denied Jack Hinshelwood's diving header just before the break, while he made a low dive to stop a Pascal Gross free-kick from curling in after the re-start.
Fortunately for Brighton, they were not left to rue the missed chances and they defended well as Forest pushed hard for a late equaliser.
In just two weeks they have managed to put significant distance between themselves and the danger zone. Ten points now separate them and 18th-placed West Ham.
Fans will also enjoy the welcome return of Solly March, who came on for James Milner in the 86th minute to make his first appearance since suffering a serious knee injury in April 2025.
