'Most disappointing thing' - Forest fans dismayed as defender makes surprise appearance on bench

Nottingham Forest fans are dismayed that defender Gaetan Bong has been named on the bench for this afternoon's friendly against Crewe.

The 33-year-old is reportedly free to move elsewhere after some disappointing performances for the club last season.

However, he is among the Forest substitutes for this afternoon's match, leading to some dismay and confusion on social media.

Here is how Forest fans have reacted:

@jackbryan8 : Most disappointing thing is we’ve got a player on the bench that’s been told he can leave. Hope we’re not giving Bong another chance.

@de_Trooper666 : Why’s Bong on the bench?!? ... thought he was told to find a new club

@benhedley01 : I’d rather have no left back than him

@jakeadkinsport : Our strongest line-up lol. Look at the state. We need minimum 6.

@FITinRYE : Team looks good

@nffctim : Mbe soh at RB Been saying this all last season hope he proves me right

@liamwaghorn : I alone in being slightly disappointed Carvalho isn’t starting?

Kick off this afternoon is at 3pm at the Mornflake Stadium in Crewe.
