Nottingham Forest were well beaten by Leeds United on Friday night as the club’s relegation fears worsened.
Goals from Jayden Bogle, Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin ensured a routine win for Leeds at Elland Road, with Lorenzo Lucca’s debut goal proving nothing more than a consolation.
Sean Dyche is under pressure to pull Forest clear of danger, and with West Ham and Leeds in good form, it’s a worrying time to be a Reds supporter.
Forest face Wolves on Wednesday night and a defeat in that one would leave the Reds in a pretty perilous situation, with West Ham set to face Manchester United tonight.

Nottingham Forest fans name the worst player vs Leeds
It’s fair to say that after this debacle in a big, big game at the bottom of the Premier League, there were a number of names who could have been deemed the worst player.
Ultimately, the winner was pretty conclusive in the end, with it probably coming as no surprise to see underperforming central defender Morato at the top of the list.
The scoring from 1302 votes is as follows:
Morato: 40.17%
Zach Abbott: 17.43%
Elliot Anderson: 12.60%
You can still cast your votes on this poll ahead of tomorrow night’s game below:

Fans slam Morato for his latest performance
There is going to come a time when Morato simply has to drop down the pecking order and make way for young Brazilian defender Jair Cunha.
Every time the Brazilian seems to play, he has an error in his locker and he’s going to keep costing Forest points when he starts matches.
NFFCHCKB said in our TalkingPoints comments: “Anderson and Gibbs-White made a lot of mistakes, Morato played badly like many times before.”
RDobler591 said: “Morato just doesn’t fit with our team. He’s okay from the bench, but not from the start.”
Simonmicallef agreed, adding: “We missed Murillo and Williams. Morato is not a PL player and Abbott is not at the required standard yet either.”
Now, all eyes will be on the team selection tomorrow and the hope will be that Murillo is fit to play!
