If there are no signings I really do hope that
Gabriel
Mighten
Johnson
Are given time to blend in and we don't go out and get has beens like knockheart on loan as a panic solution.

Fernandes looks excellent as well. I'd be happy if all of those players get plenty of games.

Absolutely agree now we have Grade 1 status at our Academy we can grow our own future talent and more importantly hang on to it.
Mighten Johnson Gabriel Fernandes Yates Swann Richardson etc are all stars of the future for our beloved club
Add to that Konate Fornah Larson and Dale Taylor the futures bright the futures Forest
No more crocks journeymen and mercenaries please
My feelings about our playing style are well documented but I will get behind my team again this season and hope that Reidy and Gary carry on their fantastic work.

I think if we sign one more pacy player up front, this season could actually be a lot more entertaining. Even Hughton's formation can work well with fast couter-attacking play.
Think of our new (hopefully) attacking left back storming up the flank with Colback dropping in to cover LB, Yates doing the same on the right when Gabriel heads up the pitch to set up a cross. Both full backs and the front three all able to switch positions (Lolley, Mighten and Johnson can play across the front) . A quick and potentially dynamic team?
Even Taylor and Johnson dropping deep could work if Mighten and Lolley go beyond the striker and stress out the opposition defence.
If only we could sign a good attacking LB and fast striker.

That should say Taylor or Grabban btw.

Hooray, some positive posts! I thought it was only Mind and Craft and myself.
Hopefully everyone can get behind us for Sunday and if we squeeze in a couple of players where we are light we will be okay.

They aren't negative posts they are honest assessment of where we are.
Johnson and mighten are the key with no new signings along with Gabriel soh Richardson Fernández, but has hughton got the bottle for it?
We are weaker ginger buy we have three young players who have had playtime and need to be given a chance.
