Losing Jason Cummings could be a big mistake for Nottingham Forest, but I don’t think they will live to regret the decision.

Cummings signed for Peterborough on a season-long loan last week and he has the potential to tear League One up.

At 22-years-old, he is still young enough to learn and grow and the perfect club to do that is the Posh.

And he has the strikers instinct to bag a fair few goals - that was what secured his move from Hibernian to Forest to begin with.

He started the season in the Championship but went on loan to Rangers during the second-half of the season.

The Scottish International was ‘gutted’ to leave the Scottish side after his loan spell.

But the loan move could be exactly what he needs to kick-start his career in England.

Posh will turn him into a goalscorer, they have done before and will again with younger players. 

It feels like Forest are throwing all their eggs into a continental basket as they bask in the glory of their European contingent.

If this doesn’t work and Cummings is regularly hitting the net - it will look like an awful decision.

Goals have been hard to come by for the Tricky Trees since Britt Assombalonga’s move to Middlesbrough.

But as with Wolves this time last year, it is all up in the air which way their season would go.

And it does so too this summer remain to be seen how, Forest, the perennial underachievers of the Championship fair in England’s second tier.

But I cannot see Forest benefiting from this other than from a financial perspective.

It is doubtful Cummings will play for Forest again - that could be proven to be spectacularly wrong - but if he does well at Peterborough, expect a City Ground exit.

Expect Forest to pocket a decent amount of cash for the striker should The Posh get the best out of the beleaguered striker as the Aitor Karanka’s revolution takes full effect.
