Leeds midfielder was excellent in draw with Forest.
Adam Forshaw has had a tough season so far for Leeds United despite their excellent campaign.
Forshaw has spent much of the campaign on the bench after beginning with an injury.
At the weekend he made his first start of the season in the Championship as Leeds drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest.
Forshaw demonstrated to manager Marcelo Bielsa that his performance was worth waiting for.
Prior to the weekend Forshaw had made only seven substitute appearances in the league.
Against Forest, Forshaw impressive as he stepped in for a rested Samu Saiz.
The £4.5 million January signing created three goalscoring chances, a figure only topped by the excellent Pablo Hernandez (5).
His pass completion rate (85 per cent) was higher than any of his fellow Leeds midfielders.
Defensively Forshaw chipped in with two tackles and a clearance.
The former Middlesbrough midfielder showed no signs of rustiness and instead looked raring to go.
Leeds were sensible not to rush him back to being a regular starter, and it’s unclear whether he will retain his place.
Forshaw showed he is fresh and ready to contribute in a big way when called upon.
