The Nottingham Forest fan base was largely unanimous on which player was at the top of his game against Crystal Palace.
Sean Dyche’s team took the lead after just five minutes against the Eagles, with Morgan Gibbs-White volleying home from close range.
Forest were comfortable in the first half, but on the stroke of half-time, an effort from Jefferson Lerma was handled on the line by Neco Williams, and Ismaila Sarr levelled things up.
That was how the scoring finished with Forest standing firm with 10 players on the pitch and in the days since the match, Nottingham Forest News readers have picked their star man.

In truth, the Forest vice-captain has been in fine form under Dyche, and he will hope to get back among the goals this Friday when the Reds travel to Leeds.
Gibbs-White crucial to Forest fortunes
This week’s game against Leeds feels like a humongous one with Forest having the chance to go nine points clear of the relegation zone with a win at Elland Road.
However, the Whites are solid at home and Forest will know they will have to use all of their quality to get a positive result out of the game.
Gibbs-White is a brilliant player on his day and his creative spark could help unlock a number of opportunities for the Reds against Leeds.
With that in mind, another Man of the Match showing wouldn’t go amiss…
