Plenty of Nottingham Forest fans have taken to social media to give their reaction, after the Championship club announced their retained list for next season.

Forest confirmed that out-of-contract players Jamie Ward and Stephen Henderson will both depart the club when their current deals expire in a few weeks.

The club also confirmed that loan players Leo Bonatini, Sam Byram, Jack Colback, Diogo Goncalves, Saidy Janko, Pele and Molla Wague have all returned to their parent clubs.

Forest also confirmed that a number of under-23 players have been released and announced which players remain under contract.

Martin O'Neill will be looking to considerably strengthen his squad in the summer, as he looks to build a team that can compete for promotion next season.

The Forest boss made five new additions to his squad in January, despite having joined the club halfway through the transfer window and will have already identified some potential summer signings.

Forest finished the season ninth in the Championship table, eight points outside the play-off places and will be looking to improve on that next season.

The club's retained list caused quite a reaction with Forest fans on social media, with many of them commenting that the club should release a few more players.
