Fans curious about Martin O'Neill's Nottingham Forest team selection for Blackburn clash

Nottingham Forest fans have reacted to the side named to face Blackburn Rovers this afternoon.

At 2pm manager Martin O’Neill named his starting XI for the SkyBet Championship match at the City Ground, and again it raised an eyebrow or two.

A victory against Blackburn is pivotal if Forest are to keep alive their very slim hopes of making the top-six and a shot at promotion come May.

The Reds’ manager has made two changes from the midweek loss away to Sheffield Wednesday which saw the Yorkshire club inflict a 3-0 defeat on O’Neill’s men at Hillsborough.

The duo of changes saw Costel Pantillimon return in goal and Pele introduced at the expense of centre-back Yohan Benalouane, with many fans wondering what would be O'Neill's choice of formation at the City Ground.

Across Twitter Nottingham Forest fans have expressed their thoughts and opinions on the team to face Rovers.
