Fans of Nottingham Forest have been reacting to Joe Worrall’s tweet, in which the 23-year-old reflects on Forest’s 2-2 draw at Middlesbrough on Monday night.

Worrall, who is an academy graduate of Nottingham Forest, has been one of the standout performers for the Reds so far this season, with the centre-back not missing a single minute of Championship action for the side, as well as contributing one goal and three assists.

However, Forest’s 2-2 draw at relegation-threatened Middlesbrough on Monday night meant that the Reds missed the opportunity to close the gap on the league leaders, and Worrall’s comments on Twitter following the fixture showed just how frustrated he and his team were with the result.

His tweet read: “Not good enough, we know that. However, another point gained. Might just be the kick we need. Away following, immense again! Thank you.”

In reaction to the £6.3 million-rated man’s comments, Forest fans flocked to his replies, with many stating that they were still behind the team and thanked Worrall for his efforts throughout the season, while others agreed that the defender’s performance was well below par, and were not afraid to let him know.

What do we think?

The Championship is a long and testing season, so performing to the best of your ability in every single fixture is something that is incredibly difficult.

However, although Forest are currently performing well above pre-season expectations, they have had a wobble in form at quite a critical stage of their campaign.

In the Reds’ last six fixtures, they have picked up just nine points, through losing at home to Charlton, drawing 0-0 with QPR, and dropping points against Middlesbrough last night.

If Forest are to have any hope of achieving automatic promotion to the Premier League, they can afford no more slip-ups in their 10 remaining games.
