Nottingham Forest and manager Aitor Karanka made a huge 17 signings during the summer, and the last of those to join was free-agent Claudio Yacob after the 31-year-old left West Brom at the end of his contract.
So far though, the former Argentina international has yet to make an appearance for the Reds and he was not included in the matchday squad for the 2-2 draw against Blackburn on the weekend, despite making the bench for the league cup win over Stoke in the midweek.

Forest conceded twice in both of those games and Karanka should now consider throwing Yacob in from the start against Millwall in order to offer more protection to his back four.
Adlene Guedioura has been in fine form at the start of this campaign and so will most likely retain his place, but the Spanish boss should drop Newcastle loanee Jack Colback. Yacob made 160 Premier League appearances during his time at West Brom and is extremely experienced in that crucial defensive midfield role.
So, Forest fans, would you like to see Yacob start ahead of Colback against Millwall? Have your say by voting in the poll below.
