You make a good case for having the correct amount of pre-season games. There are six lined up so far? 3 in Spain and 3 on home soil. (With a reasonable mix of different challenges from continental to...Division 1 to Premier Bournemouth.)
How many Pre-season games did Forest have with Warburton last year? 3? 4? (I recall it didn't seem like that many...) How many, on average, do other teams, especially those who go on to win promotion (e.g.. Wolves...) have or had? Be interesting to see how this stat compares?
I think with knowing his targets early on, have most of the targets in by June 30th and the 6 pre-season games, Karanka will, unless many previous Forest managers and pre-season disasters with last minute transfer work, has a good chance of knowing his first eleven. By way of comparison to most of the pre-seasons in the last five, ten years which have been largely train wrecks of last minute preparation..? This is the earliest I recall Forest do their pre-season transfer business with 8 in before any pre-season training games. Hopefully they get Striker, DCM and RB in before the pre-games.
