Nottingham Forest were outclassed by Bournemouth last night and many Reds fans have been left pining for defender Joe Worrall. 

Junior Stanislas' brace secured all three points for the hosts at the Vitality Stadium in a game that Forest never really looked like winning.

Stanislas put his side ahead inside three minutes and then doubled their lead six minutes into the second half, with Scott McKenna's fantastic goalline clearance ensuring the Cherries weren't further ahead.

McKenna partnered Tobias Figueiredo in central defence last night but the duo were unable to deal with the dynamism of Bournemouth's attacking players.

Forest remain narrowly above the relegation zone after a shaky start to the season, which has not been helped by the absence of Worrall.

The centre-back was integral under Sabri Lamouchi last term, playing every single Championship game, and drew links with Premier League clubs in the summer but has featured just twice due to injury this term.

Chris Hughton took charge in October and Worrall has been missing throughout his tenure, though it appears he may return early next month.
