'Very good line-up' Nottingham Forest fans give their verdict on team to face Stoke City

Nottingham Forest fans have given their verdict on the team Sabri Lamouchi has named to face Stoke City as the Reds look to go top of the Championship.

There were just two changes from the previous league outing against Barnsley last Saturday, with Jack Robinson and Sammy Ameobi coming in for Yuri Ribeiro and Tiago Silva.

Elsewhere, Brice Samba was in goal, behind a back four of Matty Cash, captain Michael Dawson, Joe Worrall and Robinson, with Ben Watson and Samba Sow in front of them providing the protection.

Despite having knocks in midweek, Joe Lolley and Ameobi were fit to start along with Joao Carvalho, playing behind leading scorer Lewis Grabban, with the Reds hoping to heap more pressure on Nathan Jones.

Lamouchi named a strong bench, which featured Aro Muric, Ribeiro, Tobias Figueiredo, Silva, Chema Rodriguez, Albert Adomah and Brennan Johnson.

Some fans feel Ribeiro is unlucky to miss out, but generally the team has been praised.
