I think they’ll drop away. They’re certainly stronger this year, but 6 of their 9 matches so far have been against bottom-half teams, including all of the current bottom 3.
Yer don't have the squad either. Midtable.

5 of 9 against bottom half

The other games have been against teams who were in strong form when they played them, losing just 1 by a single goal.
Forest will do well this season, IMO.

23 caps for Belgium 😵‍💫

Absolute donkey.
Capable of catastrophic errors like the one last night and the flying header he almost sent into his own net week. Didn't he score two spectacular own goals in one match once?

Forest ain't bad! They are a rival for European places me thinks.
I think that's pushing it, but they look strong, resilient and a threat on the counter. I think Espirito Santo is an underrated manager. This was mainly due to his torrid time at Spurs, but I see that as a bit like Potter at Chelsea. Joined a big club with huge issues and wasn't given the time to turn things around. I once suggested him on here as a potential manager for us, but was laughed out of the place. One thing's for sure, I bet Wolves wish they had him back

That's as it made me, but I remember saying to one of my closest friends (Forest season-ticket holder) that true to form Forest played down here with everyone behind the ball and then quickly broke. I hate that type of football and I'll be amazed if they stay in the top 10/12 by the end of the season.

Everyone on here knows how we struggle against teams that play the 'forest way', and today will be no exception me thinks

You could add Unai Emry to that list. Everyone wrote him off when he followed Wenger at the Arsenal completely disregarding his record in Europe proving him to be a top manager. I said at the time they were lucky to get him and have unfortunately been proved right! :(

Genuinely, I thought Emery was good, but Arsenal fans soon turned on him and he to cope with the crazy transfer signings where they overspent on duds.

He doesn’t play the football Bloom wants so we would never hire him.

FFS,. Palace 1-0 up.

Not the first time today that the Spurs defence has got into a tangle with playing out from the back.
They're at home and have a third of the possession. Just sat back and hitting Spurs on the counter I assume.

Chelsea really are a twatish side.

Thought I'd just reaffirm the fact.
