Joe Worrall faces Premier League test but Nottingham Forest tactics and missing man plays a part

The spotlight always seems to shine on one player at Nottingham Forest with fans loving their own and occasionally questioning them.

Last season it was Ryan Yates and after two games of this term, Brennan Johnson was somewhat under the microscope for his start in the Premier League. Johnson now has his first goal after scoring in the draw against Everton and he might have had two but for a marginal if correct call by VAR against West Ham.

Coming out of Goodison Park, much of the chat it seems was about Reds skipper Joe Worrall and how he has stepped up so far. Worrall has found it tough in both away games. Avoidable bookings against Newcastle and Everton have put him under pressure in matches as he finds it difficult against quick wingers such as Allan Saint-Maximin and Anthony Gordon.
