FOREST’S BEST SO FAR
With almost a third of the league season gone, Nottingham Forest find themselves well placed in the Championship table.
It has been a good start by Sabri Lamouchi’s Reds, who went into the current international break in fifth place, five points off leaders West Bromwich Albion.
And there have been some impressive performances so far from those in the Garibaldi.
We give our verdict on how each player has done up until now - and you can have your say at the bottom of the story, in our ratings widget.
PLAYERS TIPPED TO JOIN FOREST
The January transfer window opens in less than two months, and it could prove to be a busy period for a number of clubs in the Sky Bet Championship.
Nottingham Forest signed 12 players during the summer, but could they look to dip back into the market in the New Year to strengthen their squad?
Sabri Lamouchi’s side are in fifth place in the Championship table as we go into the final international break of the calendar, and promotion to the Premier League appears to be a real possibility a third of the way through the season.
Here, we take a look at the players who have been linked with a move to the City Ground during the January transfer window in recent weeks.
CASH CAN EXCEL AT RIGHT-BACK
Matty Cash has always had the right attributes to excel at right-back, according to one of his Nottingham Forest teammates.
The 22-year-old has previously been more accustomed to playing further up the pitch, but this season has been a regular in the back line under Sabri Lamouchi - putting in some impressive performances to boot.
With Tendayi Darikwa and summer signing Carl Jenkinson sidelined with injury, Cash has made the full-back position his own.
And Darikwa, in particular, is pleased to see the Nigel Doughty Academy product showing what he can do.
INTERNATIONAL BREAK PRIORITIES
Nottingham Forest head into the final international break of 2019 in fifth place in the Sky Bet Championship table.
The 1-0 win over arch rivals Derby County saw the Reds maintain their place in the play-off spots, and are five points adrift of league leaders West Bromwich Albion with a game in hand.
So what does manager Sabri Lamouchi need to focus on during this latest international break? We have a look at some points to consider…
STROKE OF GENIUS
At the start of the season, fans of every club have aspirations that their team can provide them with success and cause for celebration .
As we enter the final international break of the calendar year, Nottingham Forest have set themselves up for Reds supporters to dream of glory by May.
Forest are fifth in the Sky Bet Championship table going into the two-week hiatus, and the break will feel extra sweet after beating arch rivals Derby County in their last outing.
The postponement of last month’s clash against Reading at the City Ground means that the Reds have a game in hand over the majority of the teams in the league.
West Bromwich Albion are top of the table, but Sabri Lamouchi’s Reds are just five points behind and have played a game less.
