Nottingham Forest welcome Leeds United to the City Ground today in what promises to be an entertaining contest from the EFL Championship.
Forest are on the up and have won five games out of six in all competitions this season and their supporters here in the Football Transfer Tavern are excited at what the future might hold for them.
The Reds were narrowly spared relegation by virtue of two goals last season but there is renewed optimism around the club this time around following some shrewd transfer business from boss Mark Warburton during the summer.
Forest defeated Premier League club Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup during midweek and Leeds will be hoping to curb their enormous confidence during this evening’s contest.
The Reds fans are discussing the latest Forest fixture here in the Transfer Tavern and they are hopeful that their team can put on another performance to be proud of.
Regular Tavern drinker Lee Clarke looks at two players who can be potential match winners for Forest during this evening’s game.
Daryl Murphy
The powerful striker was signed in the aftermath of Britt Assombalonga’s departure and the ex-Newcastle United man has begun life at Forest with aplomb.
Murphy has contributed three goals in four games so far and he is already adhering himself towards the Forest faithful here in the Football Transfer Tavern.
Despite being 34-years-old it looks as though Forest have a really capable striker within their ranks and as long as they can keep the Republic of Ireland international fit he should be a decent signing.
Barrie McKay
The Scottish forward arrived at the City Ground for Rangers and having cost just £500k he already looks like an absolute steal of a signing.
The 22-year-old has netted in both of his league appearances at the City Ground so far and the Leeds United defence will need to be wary of the youngster this evening.
McKay is capable of playing anywhere across the forward line and he also looks capable of scoring different types of goals.
Nottingham Forest fans, who will win the match for the team? Do you agree that it could be one of these two? Let us know in the comments below!!!
