Should Albert Adomah be handed a Nottingham Forest reprieve?

Nottingham Forest have been busy adding to their squad this summer with five new players arriving to bolster the City Ground ranks.

Jack Colback, Tyler Blackett, Lyle Taylor, Fouad Bachirou and Luke Freeman have all been signed by Sabri Lamouchi as he looks to quickly get over last season’s disappointment.

There are still some gaps which need plugging in the Forest side. Many supporters feel a new winger could be required and one option could be right under the nose of the Reds boss.

Albert Adomah was loaned out to Cardiff City in January and their boss Neil Harris was desperate to keep him for their run-in.

Forest didn’t allow that due to the Bluebirds being in direct competition for a play-off place and back he came to the City Ground.

The experienced player wasn’t able to feature for the Reds as they went in search of a top-six finish but it’ll be interesting to see whether he earns a reprieve during 2020/21.

Right now, you’d have to say that Adomah would be a decent player for Lamouchi to have in his squad on a matchday.

Joe Lolley is still struggling with the injury picked up at the back end of last season, leaving Sammy Ameobi as the only senior out-and-out winger to call upon.

Freeman could act as a makeshift winger, whilst Alex Mighten could also operate on the flanks too if deemed necessary.

Fresh start

Adomah is a proven Championship performer, however, and if the Reds are forced to wait in their quest to add another winger, he’d surely be worth utilising.

The 32-year-old scored three goals and registered four assists last season and with the right level of game time, he is capable of contributing.

Adomah is a tricky customer and one who has proven himself time and time again at Championship level.

Whilst in the long-term Forest might look towards adding another winger, with the season starting on Saturday, Adomah could prove an ideal option in the here and now.

His form at Cardiff might have done wonders for his confidence and the man who won promotion with Middlesbrough and Aston Villa might prove a decent option for the Reds.
