Nottingham Forest fans send Derby County message to Lyle Taylor after Birmingham City transfer

Nottingham Forest striker Lyle Taylor has completed a loan move to Birmingham City.

The forward has joined the Blues until the end of the season after falling down the pecking order at the City Ground.

Taylor was left out of the Reds' squad which beat Barnsley 3-0 on Tuesday night ahead of completing his switch to the Blues.

But he is now in line to make his debut for Forest's Championship rivals when they face crisis-hit Derby County on Sunday.

And predictably plenty of Forest fans waded in to say they hoped he made an ideal start against their arch-rivals.

Here's what they had to say on Twitter.

LadkinLuke: "Score against Derby please."

Jamie Allan: "Just in time to score against derby. My manager."

Lional2936 : "You know what to do on Sunday."

Julie: "Sorry to see him go. Great attitude, just didn't work out for him or us. Wishing him success at Birmingham...especially against the sheep!"

Tricky Trees Dave: "All the best, Please score the winner Sunday."

Stuart Marshall: "Go smash couple in at derby on Sunday."

Anthony: "All best Lyle another chance to get one over the sheep too. True gent."

Clicky: "Hope you get the winner Sunday."

Taylor has found it hard to nail down a place in the Reds' starting 11 following the arrival of Keinan Davis from Aston Villa and the form of Lewis Grabban.

But he will be hoping for regular starts at Blues where he is reunited with his former manager at Charlton, Lee Bowyer.

He leaves Forest having scored three goals in 19 appearances this season.
