The Premier League 2023/24

[Floridared]

We can aim at what we want but if we employ the same attritional low block tactics with our furthest player forward is 30 yards from our goal and expect to score on the break then I think we will have a bottom 5 battle on our hands once again, strengthen or not.

I would presume we'll try and be a little more expansive next year. Try to get possession up to at least 40%, hopefully help with the injuries too

"My approach to management throughout my time coaching in the junior and senior game has been to play attacking, creative football. That will not change. From speaking to those who love Forest and hold dear its traditions and history, I recognise that this is a club that demands a style and a verve in keeping with its greatest days under its greatest manager."
 

A quote from Cooper when first appointed hopefully comes to fruition next season.

Would say we are similar clubs both with ambitious owners, just need to find our Ollie Watkins.

We already have him.

Yes I am expecting a few large bids in for Taiwo and MGW
And for what it’s worth I have changed my view on Worrall he has really stepped up last few games and could be a premier defender after all well done Joe

I am calling it now:

[DR Forest]

That’s my three

Said it on another thread a few days ago- if Everton get a deduction they can’t attract players and have little to spend anyway, and the step up for the promoted teams is massive as we know.

It’s almost a ‘free hit’ season to use for building and developing.
Let’s hope EM sees the bigger picture too.
Athens wasn’t built in a day.

Rumours are Wolves are under pressure to make sales so might mean they are unable to invest going forward so expect them to be down there if that is the
case.

Bournemouth the new owner seems to be willing to spend to keep them up as was shown in the Jan market and they do already have a scouting system in place from their other club. They have shown they do have a fighting spirit with picking up vital wins at the end of the season. If they have a poor start then they will struggle but have enough experience of the fight to stay safe.

Burnley are being over looked when it come to fighting for the drop next season. They were very attacking and played with a fast pace last season against cash poor sides and were made to look better then they were. Very open with and without the ball, similar to us. Do they have the players that will allow them to close the space against possession based teams and shut up shop, i don't see myself. Should survive as there will be worst teams than them this year.

Everton have canny manager who gets points on the board and is prepared to play whatever way he has to get them. But with a new owner potential incoming with no idea of time line right now and the current board under pressure from the fans and looking like they are in disarray will they be able to bring players in? Sign a quality striker then i think they might just have enough about them to stay up if they don't get a points reduction.

West ham will no doubt now stick with David Moyes especially if he gives them their first silverware for god knows how long. Seems like they will lose a few players and others now aging will they be able to avoid another drop or are they sleep walking into the bottom three. For me there is to many questions about the ownership as well off the pitch and this will be the year they drop down providing Everton don't get a points reduction.

Sheff Utd Owner is looking to sell and made comments along the lines that they would manage the financial side of club as best they can until owner is found. Doesn't sound like they will be doing to much investing. Brand of football will allow them to get some points on the way but i think they will fall short with staying up.

Luton will surely be favourites for the drop. Not sure they have the funding or level of players to compete week in week out at premiership level. One thing they will have that we didn't is they will be the media darlings of the season, Plucky little Luton back at the big time.

Not so sure about that. Our points gathering has been pretty good since return of Taiwo. 

Stopped conceding cheap goals as often
Been more clinical in opposition  box.

That's a decent recipe.

Just need to work on our away record and we are golden.

I really hope I'm wrong, but there's certainly an element of the original Wimbledon about Luton. Launching balls onto box and channels worked for us for 20 minutes at Anfield. They do it for 90 minutes.

Not disagreeing with the above comments but worth pointing out that fans of every other PL team had Forest as certainties to drop this season and many will think the same for next too.
Worth thinking about before we start getting cocky and writing newly promoted teams off.
