Nuno Espirito Santo was forced to watch from the stands on Monday night, which gave him the perfect vantage point to spot one thing he wants his Nottingham Forest players to do more.

Nottingham Forest won’t have too many complaints with their performance against Crystal Palace, other than letting too many shots go the way of Matz Sels.

However, he proved that he can more than handle them as he put in another incredible display, earning praise from Oliver Glasner who called his save from Jeffrey Schlupp ‘unbelievable’.

This isn’t the first time that Sels has saved the day for Forest, as he pulled off a number of key stops to keep Cole Palmer and co at bay against Chelsea.

Ally McCoist was even stunned by the performance of Sels, as he came out and called him ‘incredible’

However, it wasn’t all smiles, as Nuno Espirito Santo has spotted an improvement he wants his players to make after watching from the stands.

Dean Henderson didn’t have a particularly successful time of things back at the City Ground, as it was his mistake which allowed Chris Wood’s shot to find the back of the net.

Interestingly, this is what actually influenced Nuno Espirito Santo’s decision to call for his side to do more of one thing in particular.

When speaking to Nottingham Forest’s YouTube channel, Nuno admitted he wants his side to take more pop shots like that outside the box to really test goalkeepers.

“Yeah he took it early (Chris Wood’s goal) and this is some sometimes something that we have to look at and say maybe our players should do more often, because we are sometimes having too many touches.

“Always looking for the perfect situation and sometimes you just have to give it a shot and try your luck.”

Who drops out of the side if Morgan Gibbs-White returns?

Nuno Espirito Santo faces a headache ahead of Friday night if Morgan Gibbs-White is deemed fit.

Gibbs-White was suspended for the Crystal Palace clash, which was a blessing in disguise as he wouldn’t have made the squad due to injury anyway.

Elliot Anderson deputised in his position and did an incredible job, with Alan Smith even comparing him to Lionel Messi at one point.

Ryan Yates has been a regular in the middle of midfield. Nicolas Dominguez came into the side and put in a dominant display in the holding midfield role, which has now made it impossible for Nuno to decide who he potentially has to drop to the bench.
