Nottingham Forest have had a bit of a mixed season but it looks like they are petering out into a mid-table finish now.

The Reds currently sit in 17th place in the Championship table and they are not troubled by relegation as they have an eleven point cushion over the drop zone.

While they are not yet mathematically safe, all it needs is for Barnsley to fail to win one of their remaining four matches to confirm the inevitable.

Aitor Karanka will already be thinking ahead to next season where he can use the summer transfer window to shift some of the deadwood that he inherited.

There have been some poor performers for Forest this season and they will need to be shipped in the summer window.

Here are the three worst players to have played for Nottingham Forest during the 2017/18 season.

Apostolos Vellios has played nine league matches for Nottingham Forest this season and the striker has not once found the net.

The Greece international is having a miserable time in England and needs to end his nightmare spell this summer.

Andreas Bouchalakis arrived in the summer with high expectations but he has failed to live up to them.

The former Olympiakos man has been limited to just 24 appearances all season and has not featured since an FA Cup match in late January.

Michael Mancienne has had his moments in the past for Nottingham Forest but he has been woeful this season.

Aitor Karanka now favours Tobias Figueiredo and Danny Fox at centre half and it looks like Mancienne could be on his way out this summer.
