Not sure I agree.
We were toothless throughout, have seen many Forest teams down the years with that problem and every time we were definitely not fine.

I think the top sides aren't as good as WBA, Leeds and Brentford last year so far at least anyway.

Think we will know a lot more about how the season will pan out after these games. I reckon
9 points or more, not looking likely right now but I would start to believe again
5-8 points As you were everyone.
0-4 points uh-oh.
That's a brick wall if ever we were to face one.
9 points would only see us mid-table at season end though. 12pts is what's required to still make the playoffs.

West Brom were not great for most of last season, neither of the three teams you mentioned were consistent.
Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich are stronger.

Five incredibly difficult games and unpredictable Reading.
Last season we managed to pick up good results against the higher placed team. Let’s hope Hughton can replicate that.
Play like we did in 1st 80 minutes we will be fine. Play like we did in last 5 or 10 minutes and we are stuffed.
We did well against the better teams last season, but as I think Alf has pointed out, we've lost some of the personnel (Cash, Worrall/Daws, Watson) that made us effective conceding possession. And we don't seem to be trying to replicate that style. I wouldn't expect us to get more points from better teams like last season.

I am a bit worried with our fixtures. We desperately need a target man type in my opinion.
Yes. Target man.

At this point last season Leeds had 25, WBA 23 so statistically pretty similar so far. I think both Bournemouth and Norwich have won a lot of tight games. Norwich scored last minute goals in 5 consecutive games I believe

I think it's early and it remains to be seen towards the end of the season.

Last season we managed to pick up good results against the higher placed team. Let’s hope Hughton can replicate that.
So, zero points from the first two matches.
I would take two draws from the next two if they were offered

Watford are good but Reading are average, and Norwich are decimated by injuries. There’s hope there.
