- James McAtee among three Nottingham Forest players whose stock has soared this season
Oliver Glasner's Nottingham Forest tenure has not gotten off to the best of starts, but not everything is negative at the City Ground.
Unsurprisingly, the manager is under pressure, not least after his side's 1-0 home defeat to Coventry City before the international break.

Forest will be hoping to get back to winning ways against Crystal Palace on Sunday, 11 October, and that should be possible if they bring their best.
Goals from Liam Delap and Igor Jesus meant that the Reds claimed a surprise 2-1 win over Aston Villa last month, and fans want more of the same.
Things have not quite gelled fully on the pitch, but there are positive signs, with Morgan Gibbs-White, predictably at the forefront of everything good.
Amongst the negatives, Football Insiderhas dived into three players who will have seen their valuations rise in the early stages of the season.
James McAtee

James McAtee was in desperate need of some leadership, and that's exactly what he's got at the City Ground, and in a new position.
Moving into a centre-midfield role, with boatloads of responsibility, has been the best thing for the former Manchester City gem. He's sometimes the best player on the pitch.
Jair Cunha
With Nikola Milenkovic injured, Brazilian Jair Cunha has stepped up in an unbelievable way, starting four of Forest's five Premier League games.
The 21-year-old centre-half has earned his debut with the Brazil national team, and was even given his first start against Australia on Tuesday, 29 September.

Liam Delap
Although he's only found the back of the net once so far, Liam Delap is already thriving at the City Ground following his £50million move.
The 23-year-old striker is already showing the form that he had at Ipswich Town, and the Reds took a big chance by splashing the cash on him.
