Forest could make a serious push for Europe at this rate | Brentford 0-2 Nottingham Forest

[@jackrabbit9086]

Thing with forest is they have already played 90% of the best teams away already. So will have to play them all at the city ground coming down the stretch. Then again, until last game 50% of their points came from home and 50% from away.

That home form statistic mainly comes from drawing to Bournemouth and Wolves in our opening 2 home fixtures. Credit to those teams - they held their own, especially Bournemouth. But Bournemouth only scored because Milenković was serving a 1-match ban following his move from Fiorentina which was ridiculous, and Danilo snapped his ankle 7-minutes into the opening game of the season, and with Wolves well they weren’t poor at that point. Replay those fixtures again and Forest arguably pick up an extra few points, matching our home and away form on points.

@@Elcrisso1 I think we are a much better team than bournemouth we have had some serious mishaps almost every single time we play them.

I think we were still lacking a bit of confidence in that first few games of the season. That Liverpool win was enormous. The home loss against Fulham was a tactical mistake as MGW unavailable. Newcastle just turned up in that second half. I think the most disappointing performances so far have been the away games at City and Arsenal. Didn't really turn up for those

[@FootballDiaryPodcast]

Plenty of landmark results and tests passed so far

[@tobysimonb1567]

Look beyond the surface the building blocks of Forest's success was there last season. Appalling at set pieces.....but...but 6 or 7 th best counter attack side in the whole of Europe's top 5 leagues...and.... The 5th best Premier League defence from open play last season. So basically they've fixed the only thing dragging them down, they'll maintain current form and consistency because it was there last season too

[@FootballDiaryPodcast]

It was set pieces and awful officiating against them last season! Both of which seem to have been better so far this season

[@kieronsmith3914]

I think we've only conceded 1 goal this season when Morato is on the pitch. Quality everywhere from this squad.

[@C4DOOM-c6j]

Wouldn't really count it since it was second half and he wasn't in the technical area when it conceded at city

[@FootballDiaryPodcast]

Could prove another bargain find, great recruitment

[@ad5139]

Think Forest will be competing with Villa and Newcastle for 4th place.

[@FootballDiaryPodcast]

It's anyone's for the taking this season, so why not?

[@jamescunningham1973]

competing for 4th is def on

[@FootballDiaryPodcast]

This season, it's anyone's for the taking so why not?

[@adrianfoster5223]

Thanks, mate, for a really fair analysis.

[@FootballDiaryPodcast]

Really appreciate that feedback, thanks mate!

[@MGW10]

Up the Forest! 🌳

[@necessaryevil3428]

Milenkovic is the find of the decade 👌

[@markdraycott3974]

Well I’m hoping for 2nd place as I will get an E/W quarter odds payout on my bet for them to win the league 😂

[@FootballDiaryPodcast]

Dream big!!

[@markdraycott3974]

@ yes mate, we can only dream. Merry Christmas 👍🏻

[@C4DOOM-c6j]

People may hate our recruitment team but our scouts have been genuinely good the targets that they scouted earlier in the summer was -Omorodion -Marmoush -Giménez -Evanilson -Nico Gonzales -Fagioli - Santiago Castro -Vanderson (RB-As Monaco) -Mathys Tel "so our recruitment scouting team has genuinely improved way better then our first panic buy so people think our scouting team is shit. I don't think we'll finish top 4 but anywhere near the top 10 I'll take it, cuz I had us finishing 15th.

[@FootballDiaryPodcast]

I think too many people are still fixated on that transfer wave after promotion. Obviously there were some misses there, but since then, recruitment has been incredible.
