PLAYER RATINGS SUBSTITUTES
JORDAN SMITH:
Handled well and looked competent. Only negative was a couple of poor kicks. Rating: 7/10
CARL JENKINSON:
Enough to replace Cyrus Christie? Probably not, but Jenkinson did well defensively. Rating: 7/10
SCOTT MCKENNA:
No sign of any rustiness on his return from injury. Should keep his place now. Rating: 8/10
JOE WORRALL:
A first chance to see Worrall and Mckenna together and they look a strong partnership already. Rating: 8/10
GAETAN BONG:
No frills to his game at all but was highly effective, especially in the first half. Set up the goal well. Rating: 7.5/10
HARRY ARTER:
Battled well in midfield and riled his opponents. More of what you expect from the former Bournemouth man. Rating: 7/10
CAFU:
Not his best game. Overshadowed a little by Arter in a deeper role before pushing forwards. Rating: 6/10
JOE LOLLEY:
Bright first half but reduced to a more disciplined defensive role after the break. Rating: 6.5/10
MIGUEL ANGEL GUERRERO:
A big chance to impress but never really took it, aside from one good turn in the first half. Rating: 5/10
SAMMY AMEOBI:
Worked hard and looked to help Bong out defensively, but was not at his best going forwards again as he made a limited contribution. Rating: 5.5/10
LYLE TAYLOR:
Good finish for the goal and worked hard without getting many men around him. Rating: 7/10
ALEX MIGHTEN (FOR AMEOBI 58): Looked bright when he came on and was Forest’s biggest attacking threat in the second half. 7
RYAN YATES (FOR GUERRERO 66): Brought on when Forest were on under pressure and did his job well enough as he looked to disrupt. 6
SAMBA SOW (FOR ARTER 85): N/A
Subs not used: Samba, Mbe Soh, Dawson, Blackett, Swann, Christie.
