Oleksandr Zinchenko and Douglas Luiz face an uncertain January at Nottingham Forest despite both agreeing season-long loan deals last summer. The high-profile duo were among 12 signings as Forest embarked on an ambitious campaign before the start of the season. Yet with Forest having sacked two managers before the end of October, both have seen their playing time limited. The pair’s most recent appearances for Forest were in the FA Cup defeat at Wrexham, when Zinchenko was taken off at half-time. It's unacceptable to me, but I said you have to look in the mirror because that's unacceptable to the badge as well.
