'Time to do the biz' - Nottingham Forest fans give their verdict on team to face Derby County

Nottingham Forest fans have given their verdict on the team named to face Derby County.

Manager Sabri Lamouchi kept faith with the players who beat Luton Town as he named an unchanged side.

That meant Michael Dawson missed out on a place in the squad at the City Ground despite recovering from a calf injury, as he instead signed autographs for young fans before kick-off.

However, supporters were positive about the start XI as the Reds look to get one over on their fiercest rivals. On top of that, former Red Adlene Guedioura sent his own message of support.

Lamouchi named the same substitutes as Matty Cash, Joe Worrall, Tobias Figueiredo and Yuri Ribeiro lined up in front of Brice Samba.

Ryan Yates and Ben Watson were chosen as the mdifield anchors with Joe Lolley, Tiago Silva and Sammy Ameobi in behind Lewis Grabban.

Victory for Forest would take up to fourth in the Championship on goal difference. They could go second but would have to win by six goals to overhaul Preston.

Forest: Samba, Cash, Worrall, Figueiredo, Ribeiro; Watson (c), Yates; Lolley, Silva, Ameobi; Grabban; Subs: Muric, Carvalho, Mir, Robinson, Chema, Adomah, Johnson
