Nottingham Forest fans react to Tendayi Darikwa display against Wigan Athletic

Some Nottingham Forest fans want Tendayi Darikwa dropped and Sam Byram to get his chance.

Nottingham Forest fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Tendayi Darikwa against Wigan Athletic.

Darikwa featured for Forest in their Championship game against Wigan away from home at the DW Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The 26-year-old right-back started the match and played for the entire 90 minutes, as it finished in a 2-2 draw.

Forest fans on Twitter were not pleased with the display produced by the Zimbabwe international, and some want Sam Byram to be included in their next game.

Forest signed 24-year-old right-back Byram – who earns £30,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – on a season-long loan deal from Premier League club West Ham in the summer transfer window.

He should playedSam Byram…Osbourne should be in midfield not defence.

#nffc need to stop leaving better players out to accommodate Osborn. He is not good enough for our midfield and her certainly isn’t a LB. Darikwa was embarrassing in the build up to that goal. Sooner Byram and Robbo are at RB & LB the better.

Couldn’t agree more. Fox, darikwa and Osborne in defence = problems #nffc

The sooner we get Byram and Robinson in at fullbacks the better. Shocking defending by Darikwa and Osborn for Wigan’s second goal. #nffc

If Darikwa wasn’t beaten so easily which then pulled Fig, Fox and Osborn out of position then there would have been no penalty #nffc

I agree. What was Karanka thinking keeping him ahead of Lichaj?

Byram in for Darikwa, Hefele in for Figueiredo, and Robinson in for Osborn next match, but I doubt that will happen. #nffc

Matty cash best player for us easily today. Dont rate Darikwa at all and I still don’t know what Osborn’s best position is, not convinced it’s left back tho. A point is a good result considering how bad we were, I’ll take that #nffc

Soudani must start ahead of Grabban. Osborn and Darikwa must miss out. Have to beat teams like Wigan. Very poor #nffc

How many times did darikwa get caught dwelling on the ball today? 2 new fullbacks next week and I would start soudani over grabban. #nffc

It’s early in the season I am aware and time needs to be given… so some might feel I’m being unfair on Darikwa but I see some basic mistakes all too often from him and he’s already had a season with us. He knows the level he needs to be. #NFFC

Where is Byram.. I’m sick to the back teeth of watching Darikwa pass to nobody / lose possession in dangerous areas / get caught out / all of the above. #NFFC
