McAtee ain't up to it unfortunately. I thought at the time I thought Forest were overpaying for him but he's really struggled. I guess he was never going to end up in the Championship but that's really where he should've gone (and probably where he'll end up). He can make it as a lower end Premier League player but he has a lot to figure out.

Tim Iroegbunam vs Nottingham Forrest [@tim_iro] https://t.co/ihcyZZ1UbY— 𝐉𝐄𝐔𝐍𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐔𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐃 (@CompsJeune) December 31, 2025 I have to say, I’ve always liked this guy especially coming through the youth ranks.

Agreed. He's still a bit erratic and inconsistent but if he can fine tune his game he can go right to the top. He's got everything physically and technically.
