Here, we chatted all things Nottingham Forest.

Premier League Preview: The fans’ view – Nottingham Forest

What lessons need to be learned from last season?

No matter how bad you think Paul Tierney, Anthony Taylor and Stuart Atwell are, they’re loads worse. The need for more depth, impact coming off the bench – especially with a European campaign on its way.

What’s your view on the manager?

Generational. If he’d have stayed at Spurs they’d have won trophies years ago. Has built on Steve Cooper’s foundations, understands the club, the people, the city. One of our own.

What’s your verdict on the summer transfer window so far?

Keeping our best players was the most important ‘signings’. MGW staying was a huge statement. Newcastle (in my opinion) paid massively over-the-odds for Elanga, too. His end to the season was flattering – as dangerous as he can be, his end-product half the time is absolutely horrible.

We need another pair of wingers, a holding midfielder, and cover at full back. A new striker who can run in behind would be nice, too – Woodeh would do well to repeat last seasons heroics.

One player to watch from your club this season?

Murillo. He’ll be the first £100m defender. A mention to Elliot Anderson as well, who (I’m obviously bias), should be pushing to start for England at the World Cup. The media machine that is Jude has already hit his ceiling, and if you ask me – Anderson has the traits to actually be better. Sadly Jude’s got all the PR in the world, though.

The most underrated player at your club is…

Neco Williams. The bloke is 8/10 every week. Knows what it means to play for the reds and never shies away from anything.

The game you’re most looking forward to is…

Our first game in Europe.

What opposition player do you secretly admire?

Cole Palmer. Think he’s our best bet at a British Ballon D’or winner in the next few years. Tuchel wants to bin Jude off, build the team around Cole, and whack Anderson into the midfield .

This season your team will finish…

9th. I think we’d do very well to get European football again with it all being quite new for the lads. I think your United’s and Tottenham’s will be pushing for Europe this year, so there’ll be a lot of teams in the mix. I reckon our best shout at European football next season would be winning the Europa League – which is ambitious. But why not.
