Jack Robinson was one of many players who struggled for Nottingham Forest in Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Wigan Athletic. The 26-year-old started at left-back, but he underperformed at the DW Stadium and was eventually hauled off in the second-half as a result.

Against Wigan, Robinson played for 71 minutes, made 49 touches, won five aerial duels, completed 82.6% of his 23 passes, had one shot, whipped in one cross, made one tackle, blocked one shot, made one interception, gave away one foul and made one clearance.

Robinson has been a regular under Sabri Lamouchi this season, making 10 appearances in all competitions. The former England u21 international was benched in Forest’s 1-0 win over Brentford before the international break and may find his place in the side up for grabs after his latest showing.

Sunday’s loss to Wigan saw Forest drop to fourth in the table, ending their 10-game unbeaten run. It was also only their second conceded goal in October too. The Reds next face Hull City on October 23 and could be much-changed after Sabri Lamouchi admitted making mistakes with his team selection.
