Sort of confirms what we know, take a few more chances and have a few less ridiculous VAR interventions (which aren’t counted in the stats) then we should be OK.
I wouldn't bank on the ridiculous VAR interventions easing up to be honest.

I'd like to think our luck would even up, but my underlying impression of VAR since we were promoted is that we've been screwed over much much more than we have benefitted.
I'd be interesting to see if there's any stats out there to back that up.

Yeah this does all seem quite positive, suppose the worry is that we have had decent ish fixtures so far and so the stats will start to look worse after we play Arsenal and City at home (probably). Defensive stats are pretty impressive though.
I remain both optimistic and also uncomfortable/nervous.

I feel comfortable but not overly optimistic. I'm hoping for a decent FA Cup showing when theyve had a few months of the system. Thats where im hoping the joy comes this season.

This is where I'm at.
I did not witness the calamity some saw.
Fine margins between Forest winning and losing v Coventry.
