Former Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis McGugan feels the looming presence of Sam Surridge has heightened the scrutiny on under-fire striker Andre Ayew.
Steve Cooper's decision to bring Ayew on for Taiwo Awoniyi early in the second half at Brentford has been criticised by fans after Forest went on to lose the game.
Plenty felt Ayew had a poor game but the consensus on the latest Garibaldi Red podcast was that he had not played too badly, with McGugan believing Surridge is not trusted to the same degree as Ayew by Cooper.
