Meanwhile, we needed Biamou to play 34 games last season. It’s area we need to improve because Godden has struggled with injury. Walker and Gyo are the two long term strikers and Godden and Waghorn probably won’t re-sign I do think a lot of people are discounting Rose, he finished the season...

100%. Our forward options are much improved. With Godden’s recent injury woes, we really did need 2 strikers this window. Without making the signings, we’d be left with Walker as a lone option. Something that is understated so far is that (so far) we’ve kept all our best players that are...

Last season we started with Giles as our sole LWB. Robins has said he wanted 4 more signings. Since then, he’s signed one LWB. So why don’t we wait and see what the squad looks like at the end of the transfer window before pressing the panic button. This window has been tough on everyone...

I maintain that you’re being paranoid. Waghorn over the last 4-6 seasons has scored 10+ goals in all competitions. Barring last season. Robins clearly has a plan for him and the squad. We have a recruitment model we have still largely stuck too. We’ve signed Gyo and Bright as permanent...

My email was a booking confirmation, so I’d guess the e-ticket will arrive in a few days?

Personally, I think we will and I’m sure Robins does too.

Anyone can say what they like about our recruitment, but I’d rather be in our situation than theirs. Then you’ve got clubs like Derby, Blackburn, Swansea and Reading who are all significantly weakened over the summer. We’ve got a good young squad so players like COH, Hamer, Sheaf, Walker, Gyo...

This reflects a lot of teams in the championship going into the new campaign. About a third of the league are yet to sign more than 1 player after releasing a lot more. Obviously we’re all focused on our team, but we seem to be in a better situation than a lot of clubs. Forest finished below...

Waghorn is a striker and we favoured 3-4-1-2 last season.

They’re cutting back a lot and not really replacing players who have left. 21st does seem a bit low. A lot of clubs are in a worse position than us in the transfer market.

We still have a young team? COH, Bright, Walker, Sheaf, Hamer, Rose, Hyam, Shipley, Dabo and Gyo off the top of my head. That’s without mentioning our younger academy products like Bapaga and Burroughs et al.

How do you define finished the season? I’d say the final 10 games or so and that was our go to line up. Despite battering Millwall, we had a slight drop off from our prior 3 games as we lost to PNE and drew to Huddersfield of the back off of a 3 winning streak

Obviously, Kelly got injured.

With how this market have been, that wouldn’t be worth the risk, injured or not. We definitely need someone in that role with experience.

CM absolutely needs to be a top priority. We ask a lot of the 2 CMs in our system and you need bodies to keep Sheaf and Hamer fresh. Kelly always has a spell on the sidelines and we need an experienced player in there. Eccles is a good talent and throwing him in at the deep end could probably...

100-150k would be an absolute steal for us. Last year of his contract and he’s at least 4th choice at CM and CAM. We’ll let him go for free when we’ve got someone lined up I imagine. He was instrumental in our promotion season and I quite like him. But, didn’t have much output nor impact last...

There’s obviously a process in identifying players, we’re clearly not just winging it. He played against Man U both times in Sheffield Utd’s first premiership season and from their accounts, handled himself well. All this talk about Walton from some people, he played 2 games last season.

It’s a risk to you because you (and other laymen including myself) know next to nothing about the player. Whereas MR and his recruitment team have done their research.

The problem with judging things on preseason, it’s not representative of a competitive match. Let’s not forget that preseason reports were favourable to Kastaneer when he arrived. Bakayoko looked good preseason, yet didn’t even look like scoring in competitive matches last season. Has Robins...

You're panicking, have a little patience! GK hasn't got worse as Wilson was generally our first choice last season, and if Moore disappoints, it's back to square 1. As for the defence, we've yet to finish our recruitment yet so we don't really know what the outlook is like there. I don't think...
