Nikola Milenković / Никола Миленковић

So, in the interests of fairness - and hear me out, because I still love this man...
...but I thought he had a really poor first half (by his standards) against Wolves - and it's not a coincidence that Wolves created more good chances than almost any other team have in recent memory during that same half.
I was really disappointed that he seemed to really struggle with that big lump they had up front, and I don't think I've ever seen him beaten so convincingly in the air, so frequently. Thankfully, we got away with it, everyone upped their game in the second half and he won't come up against too many 'throw-back' centre-forwards in that mould.
Strand Larsen gave him more trouble than I've seen anyone give him. Not sure if that was SL performing well or Milenkovic being a little off it. His finishing was below par though so, overall, still not overly impressed with the Wolves man.

He was lying on a table in one of Ainas tiktok vids. Not sure if its normal or he might have had a knock the staff were managing.

Just read a cracking comment on talk sports YT channel comments section - made me laugh my head off:

"Murillo has a terrifying ability to be in the right place at the right time. it's like he's possessed or something. And Milenkovic would head away a battleship. By miles the best centre-back partnership in the league."

Never noticed originally but for that 3rd goal he followed up his massive clearance and was just outside the box when Big T scored :D
Not just that, but, he was screaming for the pass from JWP.

Good to see his no frills backpack in the matchday pass video. Just wouldn't look right walking in with one of those Louis Vuitton man bags.

He also looks like he's ready to kill someone even walking off after winning 3-0. Love that intensity...

Proper captain material right there, it can't be long before he takes the armband off Yates who I imagine would just hand it over like lunch money to a school bully.

When Yatesy is saying how shocked he was by big Niks professionalism then you know he is something special. First in and last out of training apparently. Another captain without an armband.
It is a massively pleasant surprise how many current Forest players show such leadership.

It’s a mark of the depth of recruiting now, that the club are clearly targeting players who effectively lead by example - I mean, if you were in the Forest side, would you dare disappoint Nikola Milenković?

I'm not sure if its just the naivety of where we were stuck for 23 years but my missus who takes a passing interest in Forest actually watched the wolves game with me and she asked the question about the starting line up if any are internationals......when you look at it most of them are, so they are elite level players and with that comes elite level mentality.

Of the usual starting lot, I can only think of Morato, Yatesy, Jota, Sosa and Elliott Anderson who have not yet been „capped“?

Murillo of course has been called up to the Brasil squad, so you’d think he will get a shout for the Selećao soon.

Jota & Sosa both have caps

It's only Anderson (only a matter of time), Morato, Yates & Moreno that haven't been capped.

Sosa has plenty of caps, and Jota Silva even has a couple

I’ve heard both Jota and Sosa are in fact, internationals?

Can anyone corroborate this?

I have checked the official record books (Wikipedia I mean, can't be bothered doing actual research):-

Jota Silva has 2 caps for Portugal.
Ramon Sosa has 20 caps for Paraguay and 1 goal.
Also, Alex Moreno has been capped once by Catalonia, which is a bit tenuous, but might count.
