It seems the Forest fans think the problem was Warnock`s "attitude" not Spence!

Neil Warnock's comments about Djed Spence's loan move have certainly got Nottingham Forest fans talking.
Former Middlesbrough boss Warnock has said that he sent Spence out on loan to "sort himself out."
Spence, 21, arrived at the City Ground in September for the remainder of the Championship season and the Reds faithful could not be more pleased with him.
Speaking of the decision to loan Spence, Warnock said during an interview with talkSPORT breakfast show: "I let him go. He needed to sort himself out, really.
"I basically said to him that you can go to the top or you can go non-league.
"I think Steve Cooper is the manager for him, to be honest. He has let him go forward more often, which suits his game."
Spence has since caught the eye on Trentside with 21 appearances under his belt and an impressive display against Premier League side Arsenal in the FA Cup last time out.
Boro boss Chris Wilder, who replaced Warnock, has kept his eye on the youngster and recently suggested he might recall Spence during the transfer window.
However, both clubs have since come to an agreement that the full-back will remain at Forest until the season concludes.
Here is how the Forest fans reacted to Warnock's comments on our Facebook page...
Andrew Marriott: "Clearly Neil Warnock didn't know how to manage him whereas Steve Cooper does. Steve is bringing about the best in Djed, he is happy at the City Ground and his performances reflect that."
Grant Fellows: "Just been superb at Forest gives his all every game, seems at home shame we won't keep him unless we get promoted. Not a whisper of a bad attitude, maybe it was Colin's attitude that was the problem."
Craig Jones: "All that is wrong with Warnock... 'he likes to get forward which suits his game'. So basically he didn't like boring football."
Michael Farnsworth: "Got the potential to be better than Cash!"
David Bentley: "I don't think Warnock's man management style suited Spence's character, whilst he's in good form currently, the time to see if he has matured will be when his form dips, how he handles it, in the meantime his valuation will rocket, he no doubt will end up in the Prem in the summer."
Rob Stoke: "Djed likes to attack… didn’t stand a chance lol."
Adrian Hatton: "Every player is amazing under Coops."
Ryan Tobin: "As if Warnock told him there’s a non league option!"
David Worley: "He is very good, I want him on the wing."
Steven Hemsley: "Been good for us, looks a decent player."
Richard Leonard: "I think the longer we don’t try to buy this player, the higher the fee will be. The Boro full back is apparently better means they will sell him. No point waiting. Sign him up with huge sell on fee..."
Mark Jackson: "To be fair, a lot of it is about style of play in a flat back four he would be a fullback and maybe doesn't suit his game with three centre backs and two (sort of) defensive midfielders it gives him more licence to get forward. He could possibly be a decent winger with his pace to be fair. It's also down to a manager's instructions, prime example Ryan Yates (og against Boro aside) it's almost as if previous managers told him to pay sideways and not venture forward, the cross of the goal showed what he can do if allowed to play his own game."
Craig Gall: "Different style of play and formation, some players don't fit!"
Craig Knight: "Warnock claiming credit..."
