Alan Shearer names three Forest players in Team of the Week
Itâs been a while this season, but Shearerâs Team of the Week has a very Forest-focused look about it this week, with three players and Pereira getting the nod.
Matz Sels was named by Shearer as the goalkeeper for his team, with strong saves coming from Mathys Tel and Dominic Solanke during the contest.
Also named as part of the defensive unit is Nikola Milenkovic, who proved absolutely colossal at the back for Forest, and this was much more like the Serbian defender whom the Reds counted on last season.

Completing the trio of Forest stars in this weekâs Team of the Week was captain Morgan Gibbs-White.
The number 10 was jeered by Tottenham fans throughout the contest but had the last laugh as he fired Forest into a 2-0 lead in the second half.
Pereira being named as the manager proved to be the icing on the cake, and he richly deserved his flowers after claiming a first Premier League win since arriving at Forest.
