'Proper footballer' - Nottingham Forest fans react as forgotten man sends message

John Bostock made his first appearance for Nottingham Forest since the end of November last night.

Bostock played the final 12 minutes of the 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough in the Championship clash at the Riverside Stadium.

He replaced Ryan Yates, who had opened the scoring for Forest just before the half-hour mark.

Rudy Gestede cancelled out Yates' strike and then Lewis Wing put Boro ahead all before half-time.

Lewis Grabban, though, secured a point for Sabri Lamouchi's men four minutes from time with a clever effort.

Bostock was at the heart of the Reds' revival, injecting some much needed quality and verve along with fellow substitute Joao Carvalho.

And he has posted on Twitter a message to Forest fans after his first outing since the 4-0 win at Queens Park Rangers on November 27.

"Great to be back out there last night," he wrote on Twitter.

"Another important point, let’s keep pushing."

And Forest fans have reacted to Bostock's message.

Here's what they had to say on social media...
