“Great to have the option”- Some Forest fans full of praise at rarely-seen player’s good display

I wonder if he’s starting to give Sabri Lamouchi selection problems at this rate?

Hopefully he is, because the more options that we can choose from the better, all he needs to do now is stay for a long period of time and we’re all set. But going off his track record, I wouldn’t exactly hold my breath on that front.

I’m talking of course about Carl Jenkinson.

The 28-year-old right-back made his second consecutive start of the season against Swansea City in midweek, and put in another rather reasonable performance. He completed 83% of his passes, completed two dribbles, won two aerial duels and a tackle. He even provided the assist for Sammy Ameobi’s second goal of the day.

And his display clearly caught the eyes of these fans, who couldn’t contain their excitement at his display on Wednesday night.

Played well when he had support from the wings. Got forward really well and showed some great passion, great to have the option.

He’s been solid after a long time out the team due to injury and Marty Cash’s form. It’s a squad game especially at times like this and he’s let no one down as we aim to cement the playoffs. #nffc

Played very well and has looked really good in the last 2 games. He hasn't kicked a ball in 5 months either 👏
