Nottingham Forest secured only their second win of the season following the midweek victory over Sheffield Wednesday, and will be hoping to continue the trend, when they entertain Rotherham at the City Ground at the weekend.

So.. has manager Aitor Karanka finally found a winning formula from his inflated squad? And in particular a defensive line that can stem the flow of nine goals that his side have conceded so far this season.

Our team consider if Forest have found their first choice defence?

We discuss.....

Gary Hutchinson

Let’s hope so.

The only man who can tell you for definite is Karanka.

I’m fascinated to see his choice this weekend. If the XI is largely the same, he’s learned a lesson.

If he tinkers, he’s lost the plot.

Jay Taylor

Have Nottingham Forest found the first choice for anything?

For now, the defence is as it is but when Sam Byram is back it will change if they concede a few the weekend it will change.

Aitor Karanka will keep the same team as they won, if they fail to do so again then the team will change.

They did it before and it didn’t work then it was back to the drawing board.

George Dagless

Quite possibly.

The Reds looked that bit more solid earlier this week and their defence had a big part to play in that.

Other players will be pushing to get in but I think Karanka might just have found something worth working with.
