The League One play-off semi-finals are only halfway through but football fans are only talking about one man.
Brennan Johnson is currently on loan with Lincoln City where he has enjoyed a wonderful campaign after scoring 13 and creating 13 goals in 45 appearances for the club, playing a key role in their push for promotion.
Whatever happens to the Imps in the next week or so, Chris Hughton and the Nottingham Forest hierarchy will be keeping a very close eye on his progress.
Johnson looks like a player who is more than ready to step up to the demands of Championship football, but is the 19-year-old ready to be a key man for Chris Hughton's side?
The team at FLW have their say...

I think he's more than ready.
I'll be honest, I was surprised to see Nottingham Forest loan him out in the 2020/21 season anyway, as he could have offered them something different in the Championship this term.
So it hasn't come as a surprise to see him thriving with Lincoln City, and he'll be hoping he can cap off a magnificent season with promotion into the second-tier with the Imps.
With Sammy Ameobi reportedly heading for the City ground exit door this summer, Johnson certainly deserves a chance to impress in the Nottingham Forest first-team.
If they aren't to offer him a chance in the senior side, then it wouldn't surprise me if he was to look at a permanent move elsewhere.
After Forest's struggles this season, there isn't a better time to throw Johnson his chance in the first-team this summer.
It should be a no-brainer for Chris Hughton to include him ahead of the 2021/22 campaign.
