Fans of Nottingham Forest have been reacting to a post on Twitter which informs of right-back Matty Cash’s inclusion into the WhoScored Championship Team of the Week.
Cash, who is an academy product of Nottingham Forest, has been in incredible form this season, scoring three goals and providing four assists in his 31 Championship starts for the promotion hopefuls.
The 22-year-old impressed again last Saturday, earning a 7.53 match rating in Forest’s 0-0 draw with QPR, enough to earn him a place in the WhoScored Team of the Week.
In fact, Cash is currently rated as Nottingham Forest’s best performer this season, with his 7.24 average match rating topping the Forest squad’s totals, as well as placing him at 18th overall among the Championship’s top performers.
This has not gone unnoticed by the Forest faithful, who took to social media to praise the right-back.

What do we think?
Cash has been influential in Forest’s promotion push, with the 22-year-old adept in both attack – registering an average of one shot, 1.1 key passes and one dribble per game – and defence – with 2.8 tackles, 1.5 interceptions and 2.8 clearances in his 33 Championship appearances.
