Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Brice Samba produced another impressive display at the City Ground.
A number of Nottingham Forest fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Brice Samba’s impressive performance during their 1-1 draw with Preston North End on Saturday, with several suggesting that he may be the best goalkeeper the Reds have had for a number of years.
Sabri Lamouchi’s men continued their recent unbeaten run, with their only defeat so far coming against West Bromwich Albion on the opening day. They beat Fulham last weekend and secured a spot in the third round of the Carabao Cup in midweek with a thumping win against Derby County.
The Reds may have feared that they were in for a long afternoon when Billy Bodin gave the visitors the lead just before half-time. Alex Neil’s side dominated for large periods in the first half.
But the Reds ensured that they go into the international break with their unbeaten run still intact.
Albert Adomah equalised with just over 10 minutes to go, and the Reds were unfortunate not to go on and secure all three points. Joe Lolley had the best opportunity to snatch a winner but was denied by Declan Rudd.
One of the players who played a key role in ensuring the Reds didn’t head into the international break on the back of a defeat was Samba, with the 25-year-old producing a brilliant display in net.
Samba made numerous saves in the first half to prevent the Lilywhites from finding themselves further ahead at half-time.
The Nottingham Post reported that he was signed for just £1.9 million from Caen, and he is certainly looking like the real deal at present.
And plenty of Nottingham Forest fans have lauded the goalkeeper. One supporter even suggested that he is the best goalkeeper the Reds have had since Dorus De Vries.
‘Incredible’, ‘Immense’
