Nottingham Forest have found what they've 'been missing' with deadline day transfer

Nottingham Forest's 2-0 defeat to Fulham on Saturday won't live long in the memory, but it could mark an important point in their season nonetheless.

That's because the game saw Jonjo Shelvey make his debut for the club in the Premier League after joining from Newcastle United. The midfielder signed a two-and-a-half contract on deadline day in the January transfer window.

The Forest fans can already see the benefit of having the former Liverpool man in the team after he was subbed on in place of Orel Mangala in the 56th minute. Fulham had things their own way up until that point, but he was able to wrestle back some control in the middle of the park.
