Injury is the main concern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of the most dependable players we've got with the ball at their feet. I've quoted this post as a treat for the Nottingham Forest fans reading this thread... Steve Cooper is one of the best young managers in the game and has worked with some of the best young English players in the country, he knows a good player when he sees one.

Don’t need to lie to the Forest fans, they’ll quickly see how poor Davis is. Edited December 31, 2021 by nick76 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 To be honest, I think it's a poor signing for Forest. He can do a job for a Championship side, but is he the answer for mid table team trying to make up the gap to the play off spots? Absolutely not, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Good luck to him! Don’t think he’ll ever make a prolific top level striker but his work rate is commendable and will see him through a decent career in the lower leagues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) who do Forest currently have as their main striker? edit: ah its Grabban. Will Davis be a cert to start do we think? Edited December 31, 2021 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 If he stays fit he will have a good career in the top two divisions, he's way to good to be playing at a level any lower than that. It's very rare that he plays poorly for us, usually always looks decent, he's not been a good goalscorer, but he's a very good footballer, and given a run of games I'd expect his goal scoring record to improve, probably won't ever be prolific, but certainly I think his current record is misleading given he's only been given ten or twenty minutes here and there, so hasn't really been able to develop rhythm or develop and understanding with teammates. Will be one of Forest's best, if not their best player, so on that basis will be a good signing for them, expect to see the likes of Mighten, Lolley, and Fraser improve when they play alongside him, as he's very good and bringing out the best in other attacking players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 He's gotta play games for us to be able to judge what level player he currently is. Anyone's guess at this point since he's hardly played since the 17/18 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubliner Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 He's almost certainly played his last game for us given the way we've progressed. As others have said though I really hope he has a great career. The likes of Rotherham should they get promoted, or any lower Championship team would really suit him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 1, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 1, 2022 He could do well at Forest. He's as good as there is with his back to goal, he can hold a ball up really well and I think if you've got a poacher like Grabban around him and you use him properly he can really make a difference. I wouldn't expect him to score ten goals in the twenty games of his loan, if they're hoping for a goalscorer they're likely to be disappointed, but I might expect Grabban to get a few more than he has been and he might help Forest push to the playoffs.

Guest av1 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Im not convinced Davis will ever be a PL player but I think this is a great move to see exactly if he has what it takes. Forest are doing really well atm but let’s be honest, if he can’t get a run of games and outperform Lewis Grabban then there will be further question marks. Getting a move last summer icing him a full season would have been ideal, even so, these next few months could determine his level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
