Nigel Pearson tops Nottingham Forest topics trending the morning after the night before

Nigel Pearson was the top trending topic for Nottingham Forest the morning after the night before - and a quick look at Twitter suggests he's the man many Reds fans want in charge at the City Ground.

Sabri Lamouchi's future at the club is under the spotlight, following last night's calamitous defeat to Stoke City, despite the Frenchman signing a two-year contract extension only last month.

Lamouchi has enjoyed a good first season in charge, and a lot of supporters have backed him in the wake of Forest's failure to finish in the Championship top six.

But it has also led some supporters to call for a change - and Pearson, who has previously been linked with the top job and is currently out of work having been sacked by Watford, looks to be favoured by many of those fans.

Lamouchi's Forest needed just a point against Stoke on the last day to confirm a top six finish, but were crushed 4-1 at the City Ground as their promotion dreams were shattered.
