The on loan Aston Villa man has so far failed to make an impression at Nottingham Forest, partially due to being shoehorned into the side.

On loan Nottingham Forest man Ross McCormack could well benefit from a fresh approach at The City Ground, having failed to deliver so far.

According to The Telegraph, Mark Warburton could take the reins at Forest, relieving Gary Brazil of his first team duties and giving the Reds a real shot in the arm regarding Championship survival.

This news could be music to McCormack’s ears, who has frequently had to make do with appearances from the bench, while also being shoehorned into a failing Forest side in desperate need of organisation.

There is a reason why McCormack has been signed for such big money over the last two seasons, with the Scotland international beyond prolific at Championship level, especially at Leeds United and Fulham.

With Warburton set to arrive, Forest fans will be hoping that McCormack will now get a solid chance to prove his ability in front of goal and fire the Reds to safety, with the club just two points above the relegation zone.

A player of McCormack’s ability in a side that’s well set-up could be the difference between going down and staying up for Nottingham Forest.
