Forest's top 10 strikers of the Championship era

Image
Nottingham Forest are back in The Premier league for the first time since their relegation in 1999. Over the next twenty-three seasons The Reds used seventy* strikers in their quest to return, here are my top ten of this era. 10. Sam Surridge Sam Surridge signed in January for a reported £2,200,000, scoring 8 goals as Forest won promotion. At only 23, he has already played in The Premier League for Bournemouth - he'll be looking to continue his development this season. We've not seen as much of Surridge as the other players on this list - with most of his 17 appearances off the bench, he only featured for 715 minutes of regular league football. However his potency during this short period warrants his inclusion. Surridge scored 7 goals in the league - this is a goal every 102.1 minutes of being on the pitch. No player featuring for over 600 minutes has scored as fast as this during the Championship era - Surridge is one of the most lethal finishers at the club for a long time.
