'Pretty gutting' - Reading fans reveal what Nottingham Forest can expect from Tyler Blackett

Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of former Reading defender Tyler Blackett.

The Manchester United academy graduate has joined the Reds on a free transfer after making 120 appearances for the Royals over a four-year period.

So how have Reading fans reacted to the move for the 26-year-old, who is capable of playing as a left-back or central defender?

Here's what they have been saying on Twitter.

Tom Maynard: Pretty gutting to see Blackett sign for a championship rival really, felt his last season was his best and he had become a very solid option. Richards & Blackett would have been very good as our 2 left backs with Obita now gone. Really good move for him you'd think

Nick Houlton: I thought he was ok first season, awful second but pretty good last two seasons. He’s versatile, composed, good but two issues are he’s too relaxed, switches off & probably too versatile to nail one position. Good player.

Mark Smith: Very good last season like ppl say in reply’s (SIC) best suited left of a 3 perfect position at 3 at the back.. Only player I’d have kept at the club that got released tbf..

Neil Elezar: I liked him last season, improved greatly from the previous 2 seasons! So actually thought he was decent in the end

Matt Gray: He will be the best crosser in your side. Decent Championship player. Wish him well.

Steve Richardson: Hes inconsistent but on his day very good. Great left foot.
