da pixbet: The Nottingham Forest fans that answered our poll voted comprehensively in favour of manager Aitor Karanka dropping midfielder Ben Watson for Liam Bridcutt for the trip to Swansea on Saturday.
da heads bet: Forest and Karanka made a huge 17 signings this summer, taking a stockpiling approach to secure the players they believed were needed for a promotion push from the Championship.
In terms of central midfielders to play in the more defensive roles in Karanka’s 4-2-3-1 formation, just this summer the club added Jack Colback, Panagiotis Tachtsidis and Claudio Yacob.
Colback has been given the nod in most league games so far this season and has been partnered with 33-year-old veteran midfielder Ben Watson. The ex-Wigan FA Cup winner has been off the pace though and Forest fans clearly want to see Bridcutt, who joined the club last summer from Leeds, starting ahead of him. In fact, 93 per cent of Forest fans that voted in our poll wanted Watson dropped for the 29-year-old.
