Nottingham Forest have made an unbeaten start to their 2024/25 campaign in the Premier League, winning one and drawing two of the three games played so far.

The Reds have also enjoyed a less chaotic summer in the transfer window with 11 new faces signing for the club – with Marko Stamenic and David Carmo heading straight to Olympiacos on loan.

Forest have a team to be proud of now. The Reds have plenty of quality across the pitch and hopefully, pre-season predictions from pundits about relegation can be dispelled pretty quickly.

The Reds are being led impeccably well by Nuno Espirito Santo and hopefully this can be the season where Forest truly kick on in the Premier League.

Tony Cascarino delivers verdict on Nottingham Forest

Forest have had favourable fixtures to begin with but it’s still a pretty strong achievement to be unbeaten at this stage.

The Reds have enjoyed a solid run of form but bigger challenges do lie ahead following the international break.

Cascarino has been discussing Forest on TalkSPORT and he doesn’t envisage any problems for the Reds this season.

He said: “I like their forward line. Whether it’s Morgan Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Awoniyi, Wood, you know, there’s a lot there.

“Yeah, I think Forest have got a lot to offer in the way they play. I don’t see them as a relegation team at all this year, Nottingham Forest.

“I think pretty quickly they are a side that will be around mid-table mark, I think.”

Forest now have strength in depth

The one thing that the Reds haven’t had since becoming a Premier League football club again is options from the bench.

Now, Espirito Santo is spoilt for choice with his Forest squad and has probably two players for each position across the pitch.

Forest have a number of players who can step up in the event of injuries and suspensions and it’s not an exciting time to be a fan.

Hopefully, the new additions can settle quickly and Forest can become less erratic as a Premier League club.

Cascarino is right to praise the club’s attacking options but it’s nice that Espirito Santo has players capable of making an impact all over the pitch.
