Nottingham Forest fans give their verdict on team named to face Preston North End

Nottingham Forest fans have been giving their verdict on the team Sabri Lamouchi has named to face Preston North End at the City Ground.

Lamouchi made just one change from the team that won 2-1 at Fulham last time out in the Championship.

That meant some of the players who impressed in the midweek Carabao Cup win over Derby County had to settle for a place on the bench.

Some Reds fans felt one of those players, opening goalscorer Albert Adomah, was the most unfortunate.

As expected, Brice Samba was retained in goal, with Alfa Semedo coming into the midfield and Samba Sow dropping to the bench.

Club record signing Carvalho had made his first appearance of the season, when he came off the bench to score the Reds' third goal in the 3-0 win against Derby on Tuesday night.

Defender Chema Rodriguez was named in a Championship matchday squad for the first time, as the Spaniard was also named in the bench.

There was no place in the squad for young midfielder Brennan Johnson, who impressed in his first senior start against the Rams and scored a fine goal for the Under-23s on Friday in their thumping win over Cardiff.

Forest : Samba; Jenkinson, Dawson (c), Worrall, Robinson; Watson, Semedo; Lolley, Silva, Ameobi; Grabban; Subs: Muric, Carvalho, Cash, Mir, Sow, Chema, Adomah

Preston: Rudd, Pearson, Davies, Browne, Harrop, Johnson, Gallagher, Rafferty, Bauer, Bodin, Potts: Subs: Ripley, Storey, Ledson, Bayliss, Ginnelly, Green, Stockley
