Boss Steve Cooper hopes it has been a case of “live and learn” for Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Brice Samba.
The shot-stopper has been in fine form this month as the Reds have stormed their way into automatic promotion contention. Most recently, he made some superb saves on Tuesday night to help secure a crucial 1-0 win at Fulham.
Prior to the last international break, though, Samba had been having to settle for a place on the bench. A moment of madness which saw him sent off against Stoke City in February led to Ethan Horvath seizing his chance and keeping hold of the shirt.
