Both Nottingham Forest and Wales fans are calling for the introduction of Brennan Johnson in Wales’ crucial World Cup group game against Iran.
Rob Page’s side are looking for what would be a crucial win in their second group game of the tournament following a 1-1 draw with USA in the first game. For both games, Johnson has been named on the bench.
The Forest academy graduate earned his 16th cap for his country by coming on as a second half substitute in the game vs USA, where he showed what he can do. He will also have to earn his 17th cap from the bench should he wish to feature against Iran.

With the score locked at 0-0 at half-time, despite Iran having had a goal ruled out for offside, both Wales and Forest fans took to social media to send a clear message to Page over Johnson. Here’s what just some had to say.

Daniel: Let’s just say that it’s a sigh of relief, but please for the love of god, get Ramsey off before the start of the second half. Get Brennan Johnson or Joe Allen on
