Does Nuno Espirito Santo 'not rate' Gio Reyna? Taylor Twellman explains why USMNT star is still not getting any significant Premier League game time at Nottingham Forest

<p>Reyna has yet to make a start for Forest since joining the club on loan from Borussia Dortmund and was limited to a nine-minute <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/injury-gio-reyna-favour-morgan-gibbs-white-opportunity-usmnt-star-nottingham-forest-cameo-bench-tottenham/blt7ec27f0e1a95b68c" target="_blank">cameo in their 3-1 defeat to Tottenham on Sunday</a>. In total, he has accrued 90 minutes worth of playing time, but those minutes have come across six substitute appearances instead of one start.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Twellman, a former USMNT international himself, has responded to a tweet from <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1777048721550627301" target="_blank"><em>CBS Sports</em></a> asking if Nuno simply "does not rate" Reyna, and he has claimed that the club are in a risk-averse situation due to their ongoing relegation battle. Their defeat to Spurs leaves them 17th, level on points with 18th-placed Luton Town, and only ahead of them on goal difference.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Twellman wrote on X: "A team struggling for survival will not "experiment" with anything... that said... they aren't scoring a ton of goals either."</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">A team struggling for survival will not “experiment” with anything….that said….they aren’t scoring a ton of goals either. <a href="https://t.co/88YliqRQTv">https://t.co/88YliqRQTv</a></p>— Taylor Twellman (@TaylorTwellman) <a href="https://twitter.com/TaylorTwellman/status/1777067644157354428?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 7, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT TWELLMAN SAID

<p>Forest are next in action on Saturday against Nuno's old club, Wolves, but then they face a remarkable run-in packed with six-pointers. They will also face relegation rivals Everton, Sheffield United and Burnley before the season is out; it remains to be seen if Reyna will get a chance to shine. </p>
