Nottingham Forest summer signing Neco Williams has admitted after the 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United that the squad are still getting to know each other due to "players coming in left, right and centre" during this transfer window.
The Wales international is one of 12 new arrivals at the City Ground following their promotion to the Premier League and was one of eight to feature at St James' Park on Saturday afternoon. Williams was fielded at right wing-back by head coach Steve Cooper, with Harry Toffolo on the opposite side with Moussa Niakhaté slotting into the centre of the back three.
In midfield, Lewis O'Brien joined Jack Colback in the middle, while Jesse Lingard was also involved from the off. Orel Mangala and Taiwo Awoniyi were both turned from the bench by Cooper in the second half.
