Martin O’Neill’s team selection on Good Friday once again raised an eyebrow or two among supporters.
The Nottingham Forest manager made three changes for the Easter weekend date with Sheffield United at Bramall Lane, and it was the position of influential midfielder Jack Colback which provided further consternation.
Colback was included at left-back for the second successive Championship game, a decision which again drew much derision from some supporters as the Reds go in search of a first away win since November.
There was a return for midfielder Claudio Yacob, his first start since O’Neill’s opening game in charge in January, a move which was widely applauded from supporters, but the inclusion of veteran striker Daryl Murphy at the expense of leading marksman Lewis Grabban wasn’t received quite so well.
There was no Jack Robinson in the 18-man squad at Bramall Lane, while Yohan Benalouane returned to the starting XI in his place, with O'Neill looking to tighten up a defence which has conceded seven times in the last three games.
Here’s what fans made of the team news on social media…
