It's interesting that it's:
1. Cohen.
2. Antonio.
3. Reid/Earnshaw.
That's about right to me. Maybe if Antonio had stayed with Forest for ten years he'd have topped the polls.
The 1st two represent the systemic problem of Forest in the Championship over the last ten years. Rare loyalty and those that had 'talent' used Forest as a stepping stone the brief moment Forest had quality it didn't stay very long.
And as for Reid and Earnie, and their undoubted quality, they came pretty much at the tail end of their careers (and they're not the only players to have done so.) 'If' Forest had built on that Billy Davies MK I side.
'IF' is why Forest still in the Championship.
In some ways it's not about 'player of the decade' but how have Forest been run over the last decade. The top '3' are the perfect manifestation of that particular 'score card.'
