Now on their third manager of the season, Forest have made a dismal start to 2025-26.
Winless since their opening-day victory against Brentford, Sean Dyche’s side are 19th, four points above bottom spot and four points off safety.
Pat Riddell of the Famous Club has picked 24-year-old full back Neco Williams as Forest’s key player.
“It’s been a terrible start to the season for Nottingham Forest which makes this quite an easy choice,” Riddell said.
“Neco Williams has had his critics in his three seasons at the City Ground but this year he’s been an absolute mainstay in the side.
“The Welshman always gives 100%, is up and down whichever wing he’s picked to play on and manages to attack and defend with equal ability.
“Commitment, fearlessness and determination mean he’s easily one of the first names on the team sheet.”
The Welsh international has played every Premier League minute for Forest this season, and has scored one goal.
