Franz Carr thinks Nottingham Forest made transfer mistake with one star ‘a bag of nerves’

Former Nottingham Forest player Franz Carr believes the club made a transfer mistake by not keeping goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, calling current starter Matz Sels a "bag of nerves." Speaking on the Forest Focus podcast following Forest's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, Carr expressed doubts over Sels, arguing the 34-year-old goalkeeper is experiencing a confidence crisis and looks a shadow of his previous self without strong competition.

Writer Lee Clarke notes that manager Oliver Glasner prioritised quality over quantity with five summer signings, but reservations remain around the goalkeeping position. With backup John Victor yet to establish himself, Clarke suggests Forest may need to explore recruiting a new goalkeeper in the January transfer window if Sels does not improve his form.
