Nottingham Forest supporters polled on Twitter have chosen Joe Worrall as the Man of the Match from Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Bristol City.
The Reds played the last 34 minutes of the game with 10-men after Ryan Yates was dismissed.
Forest stood firm though and the point kept them fifth in the Championship ahead of the Robins.
Worrall was once again the catalyst towards Forest keeping a clean sheet. The 22-year-old has played every minute of every league game this season and is improving each week.
He won the vote from Matty Cash, Brice Samba and Tiago Silva who were also nominated.
Worrall is viewed by many as a future captain of the football club. On current form he is undroppable, proving integral to Sabri Lamouchi’s plans.
Last season he went on loan to Rangers. Under Steven Gerrard’s management, he came of age and was a regular in the Light Blues’ team.
The Forest academy graduate returned in the summer and has been instantly reborn under Lamouchi.
Resurgent
A product of the club’s academy, Worrall has not only earned himself a place in the team but is now an integral player.

The 22-year-old has clearly learnt from his errors of old. He is now more composed, better with the ball at feet and showcases a more intelligent approach to his defending.
Worrall claimed the Nottingham Forest News Man of the Match thanks to 42% of the vote.
Cash was second (29%), Samba third (18%) and Silva fourth with 11%.
On Saturday, Worrall was at his robust best. He made eight clearances and had a 97% pass success ratio as he helped the Reds to an important clean sheet.
Supporters will hope that Worrall can continue on his current rate of improvement. If he does, there is every reason to believe that Forest can maintain their lofty league position.
