For those complaining we have not strengthened, realistically who are you hoping we sign and who are they going to replace. Tom Cannon mentioned - 9 goals 1 assist Piroe - 10 goals 5 assists We wouldn’t guarantee him first team football Morgan Whittaker - Plymouth have said no, would you want us to break the bank when wingers are the one area we have an abundance I’m all for strengthening our squad if the incoming is better than what we have, but to be better than; Bogle Rodon Struijk Wober Ampadu Tanaka Gruev James Rothwell Gnonto Solomon Ramazani Piroe Aaronson Means a rival selling their star player or a player dropping a division with extortionate wages, we have to accept we have a damn good squad already with options on the bench If I see a rival sign a better LB than what we have or a keeper, I’ll be annoyed/jealous or an out and out 10 or Striker
We’ve a top four championship outfit. Same as last season. Only two will go up to that promised land you all keep fantasising about. Another gets a go at the playoffs. Yippe. Anyway Eire is heading over with the Galway whites for Cardiff game in three weeks so will be able to report first hand on progress since Decembers visit
Of course everyone is entitled to an opinion, we are top of the table, been rarely outplayed, would be 6+ points clear with a decent keeper, (12 points clear if every team we played had Meslier in goal). Nobody has scored more goals than us and despite Meslier we have the third best defensive record Eire feels a top 4 team, I truly believe we have the best team in the division
People's manager ratings are often a moment in time. Kieren McKenna looks a great manager, but i'm always mindful of Nigel Adkins who promoted scunthorpe to the championship twice, then took Southampton from league 1 to the premiership in consecutive years. Before 'failing' everywhere else. Sometimes success in football is riding the crest of a wave and it can be fleeting. I think most think Nuno is a good manager and I'd agree. Forest are on a great run, and he has them really well organised playing to an old-fashioned identity. But anyone really think they will be 'challenging' next year?'. Great defensive record, centre halves, keeper and striker having career seasons. They're a mid-table side on xg, over-performing.
