Head coach Steve Cooper has praised academy duo Joe Worrall and Ryan Yates for the way they have taken on the positions of Nottingham Forest captain and vice-captain.
With Worrall - who had captained the team while Lewis Grabban was injured last season - having to settle for a place on the bench in recent weeks, it is his midfield teammate who has been leading out the team. Yates put in a standout display last weekend as the Reds toppled Liverpool at the City Ground, and has been one of the team's most consistent performers of late.
Cooper places much emphasis on the leadership roles. And whether they are in or out of the XI, he says the pair have been setting the right example.
