Forest talent Powell in fine form on Monday At 18, the player is looking every inch like a future first-team player. He made several appearances for the club during pre-season and the training camp out in Spain will have served him well. Powell will get plenty of opportunities with the B-Team this season. He will be the first choice out in the left wing-back role and all he can do is continue to improve.
