Nottingham Forest star Matty Cash has once again been named in the Who Scored Championship Team of the Week.
The Reds’ right-back is making something of a habit of being named in the weekly compilation; highlighting just how well he is playing at the moment.
Cash is included this week on the back of his combative performance in the 2-1 win at Luton Town on Saturday.
The 22-year-old made 11 tackles during the 90 minutes setting the record for the most number of tackles during a single Championship fixture this season.
Cash has come of age this season in an unfamiliar right-back position, forced upon him due to a series of injuries to options on the right-hand side.
Tendayi Darikwa will miss most of the season with an ACL rupture, whilst Carl Jenkinson has taken a nasty knock to his ankle.
Forest haven’t panicked though and Cash has slotted in with relative ease.

His performances have been so good that it already seems as though the shirt is his to lose; even when Jenkinson and Darikwa return from their respective injuries.
Form
Cash was named in the Who Scored Team of the Month for October and neutrals are currently heaping high praise on the academy graduate.
The versatile performer only burst onto the scene in 2016 but has already helped himself to 112 appearances for the Reds.
In the summer Forest lost Ben Osborn who had been seen as the club’s utility man for several years. In Cash, they have found a player who has comfortably stepped up to the challenge of replacing him.
On current form, Cash is one of the first names on Sabri Lamouchi’s team sheet and supporters will hope his purple patch can continue a little while longer.
