Plenty of Nottingham Forest fans would like to see striker Apostolos Vellios get another chance at the City Ground next season.
The Greek front man has spent the campaign on loan at Waasland-Beveren in Belgium, where he made 17 appearances and scored four goals.
He had been frozen out of the first-team picture at the City Ground under Aitor Karanka, but will no doubt hope that might change with Martin O’Neill now in charge.

Vellios has another year left to run on his contract with the Reds, having been included as one of the 32 senior players contracted beyond June 2019 when the club’s retained list was published earlier this week.
His future on the banks of the River Trent might well still be in doubt as boss O’Neill has spoken about looking to trim his squad.
But Vellios nevertheless sent a message to Forest supporters as he prepares to return to England following the end of his loan spell.
Alongside a picture of himself in action wearing the Garibaldi, he wrote: “Can’t wait to wear my red jersey again. See you in June @officialnffc.”
And a number of Reds fans responded by saying they were looking forward to having the 27-year-old back.
Here’s what they’ve been saying.
