'When did you become Cafu?' - Nottingham Forest fans in agreement after Reds star's tweet

Nottingham Forest have suffered back-to-back Championship defeats for the first time this season in the past week.

Sunday's 1-0 defeat away to Wigan Athletic saw the Reds miss the chance to go top of the table, before they went down 2-1 at home to Hull City last night (Wednesday).

Sabri Lamouchi bemoaned Forest mistakes that helped Hull power into a two-goal lead, before Matty Cash got the hosts back into the game with his first goal since the opening day - the last time Forest were beaten at home, by West Bromwich Albion.

Cash was one of Forest's best players as they were beaten by the Tigers - and he took to Twitter afterwards to issue a message to the fans ahead of Saturday's clash with Reading.

"Not the result we wanted! Time to put things right on Saturday. So much to play for so let's stay positive together! Unreal support, thanks everyone," he said.

Forest fans have been responding to that tweet and praising Cash for his display on Wednesday night, as the versatile performer continues to impress at right-back this season.

Here's what some Reds supporters have been saying...

@fardon_4: Well played Matty! Any chance of telling the other boys to shoot as well?

Clive Stringer: Need a few more to show your commitment Matty, you should be proud of that performance mate

@psychoFTID: Well done yesterday. You showed the players in front of you what happens when you actually run at players with the ball. Worthy MOTM .keep showing ‘em!

@dalesilvermate: Hey Matty, when did you become Cafu? Amazing performance on an otherwise depressing night. Don't worry about the result, just want you to be happy

@emilygretton: Man of the match by a mile...keep it up Matty

Thomas Crawford: May as well call you Zanetti, unreal Cashy
