Ryan Yates has been praised by Nottingham Forest fans after making his 50th appearance for the club.
The homegrown midfielder reached the milestone during Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Rotherham United and almost marked it with a goal when his header hit the bar.
Yates has divided opinion among Reds fans, with some unconvinced by the 23-year-old.
But he played regularly under Forest’s previous two managers, Martin O’Neill and Sabri Lamouchi, and seems to be in plans of new boss Chris Hughton, who recently said: "I do like him. I've seen Ryan in the last couple of seasons from the times when I've watched games.
"He's a particular type of player, as is anyone that will play in that midfield role. He has qualities.
"It's about getting the right balance in there. He's a committed player, a whole-hearted player.”
Here’s what Forest fans had to say on Twitter after Yates reach a half-century of appearances for the Reds.
