Is he the 2nd coming of Antonio?
Plays in a very similar way and great strength and skill on the ball, keep playing him and he's going to be one hell of an asset.
Let's hope he gets a goal or two and Villa want to sell?

He gives Forest another dimension.

early days yet but signs are good - likes the hustle, not afraid to run at players and I`m guessing happy to play anywhere along the front line

He won 13 out of 15 duels and completed 8 dribbles the most in our team by a mile.
He's a player that not many teams have at this level.

Always good when a player likes to run at the opposition.
He does like the hustle. His shove on the Arsenal player who shoved him told a tale. 'You shoved me, mate? I'll show you who is shoving who.' And went over to him with a 'I'm going to brake you' stare and gave him a right shove.

That's impressive. Most impressive. Always think a player who can dribble the ball is a sure fire sign you have a player.
He could be our ace in the pack from here on in. He's something very different. Something we just didn't have in the side. Someone who can mix it and hustle and run at the opposition and who can bully the opposition. You need robust players who can stand up to the 'earn the right to play' but also 'play a bit' in this league and it's take a while for Forest's recruitment strategy to wake up to this fact. And this lad can. IT's very early days for him in a Forest shirt.
Not a player the opposition can ignore. Quality.
If he starts scoring goals...

His pace and footwork really caught me off guard. Wasn't expecting that dimension to his game

I was surprised how 'dinky' he was with his footwork and runs vs Arsenal.

I have been very impressed BD.
Only played two games but he's been immense in both of them.
Fingers crossed that he stays fit.

Yep, he's been great so far. No doubt teams will be looking for ways to negate him from now on so the challenge might get greater for him but so far, so good. Looks like a great acquisition.

Keinan Davis completed 8 dribbles in Nottingham Forest's 1-0 win at Millwall, a record in a Championship match this season

Just needs to improve his final decision he should of cut the ball back twice yesterday but instead shot from a impossible angle. But every other part of his game was excellent so much better than Taylor . If he gets a goal i think he will go from strength to strength .

I think that's why Cooper played him on the left, he really does remind me of Antonio, strong and can beat and man and he's deceptively skillful.
I think he will score sooner or later but he pulls players all over and that's leaving space for BJ and Grabbs.

Its so nice to see a big physical guy up top who can mix it up but also play. Weve not had that since Murphy left and we've missed it.
Also nice to see pace in the side with BJ and Spence. Again, its been a while. Add the two together and its a potent force.
