Nottingham Forest are enjoying a good start to their Sky Bet Championship campaign.
Friday night’s 3-2 win over Stoke City temporarily had the Reds top of the league table, with 18 points from their nine matches.
Sabri Lamouchi’s side were leapfrogged by West Bromwich Albion and Swansea City on Saturday, and now currently lie in third place in the table.
One player who has quickly become a fan favourite at the City Ground is goalkeeper Brice Samba.
The summer signing from Caen has established himself as Lamouchi’s first-choice keeper ahead of Manchester City loanee Aro Muric.
In his seven matches, Samba has kept four clean sheets, and his performances have not gone unnoticed by the Forest faithful.
Here is what some Forest fans have had to say about Samba following Friday night’s win over Stoke at the bet365 Stadium.
Luke Ladkin: “Club legend in the making.”
Cameron Clark: “#NumberOne .”
Sh4unyNFFC: “'We love you samba we do' 'Oh samba we love you!'”
Ryan: “Samba is the best in the world.”
Clem: “What a star! Best goalie we've had in years! (and the defense know it too!)”
Glen E: “If samba was here for our 1st game we'd be unbeaten this season.”
Lauren: “Best goalkeeper we’ve had in a while.”
