The City Ground summer signing, as with most of the Reds players on the night, impressed for Sabri Lamouchi’s side against bitter rivals the Rams.
A number of Nottingham Forest fans have taken to Twitter to give their thoughts on John Bostock’s performance in Tuesday night’s 3-0 hammering of Derby County in the Carabao Cup second round.
The Reds put their bitter rivals to the sword at the City Ground as goals from Albert Adomah, Joe Lolley and the returning Joao Carvalho ensured a straightforward victory for Sabri Lamouchi’s charges.
Bostock, who joined Forest on transfer deadline day, arriving on a season-long loan from French side Toulouse, has very much shaken off whatever rust he may have had as he worked his way back to full match fitness.
Against Derby, the 27-year-old bossed the midfield, looking very comfortable and assured on the ball, and if he continues in the same vein, Forest would simply have to enquire about taking him on permanently – though he will probably end up costing a fair bit more than the £900,000 at which Transfermarkt currently values him.
Here is what some of the Trickies faithful said about the 27-year-old’s display:
Forest will find out who they face in the next round on Wednesday night, the third-round draw taking place at Sincil Bank, following the conclusion of the televised fixture between Lincoln City and Everton.
Up next for the Reds is another home game as they welcome Preston North End to the City Ground in the Championship this Saturday.
