Did Hughton sign Bong? (I think his crossing is better than Rib'.)
He clearly did sign Krov', Murray and Knocker and Garner. Players who have made Forest more progressive going forwards (along with Cafu converted from loan to permanent.) But we have yet to see the goals and assist return on that yet. But they do have goals between them bar Krov'.
All 3 have materially improved the side. Krov' may have not provided assists and goals (yet) but he has knitted middle to front and is tenacious in his efforts.
Murray was clearly an interim solution (as perhaps all the January signings may or may not be...it's survival, right?) in the absence of any kind of player like that. We haven't got on his wavelength in terms of service yet. His goals got Forest 3 points that day he scored a belter. (Which may prove to be a very important 3 points.)
Knocker. Part-time mercurial player has brought genuine quality to the wing position with assists and a beauty of a goal. Better with him than without him. He didn't track back vs Watford. If he can be a bit less selfish at times.
Whether they are long term solutions is for Hughton to decide this Summer.
Do Forest need 'better' players to achieve the top 6? Overall, I think they do. GK, CH, FB, CM, ACM, Wing, Striker. 7 players to push the standard of competition, improve squad quality OR to give Forest something they don't have. I don't think it has to be '14' again. But it won't just be 3-4. Not with so many loans and so many out of contracts to sort.
As Hughon said, 'It's going to be a busy Summer.'
