Nottingham Forest have been the story of the season so far and they’re finally starting to get recognition from major pundits.

Many thought Nottingham Forest would tail off as the season developed, but we’re now halfway through the season and Nuno Espirito Santo‘s side sit in second position.

Sam Matterface was one of the pundits who predicted Nottingham Forest to go down, but has since apologised for how wrong he was.

Next up is a tough challenge if you take the last three results into consideration, with a trip to face Wolverhampton Wanderers on the cards.

With Forest second, Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have already given their predictions for the second half of the Premier League season.

Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher predict where Nottingham Forest will finish

Jamie Carragher was one of the pundits who predicted Nottingham Forest would get relegated at the start of the current campaign.

Gary Neville predicted a top half of the table finish earlier on this season, but that would be a disappointing way to end the season given the current position.

When speaking on Sky Sports after the game between Manchester United and Newcastle United, both Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher predicted a sixth place finish for Nottingham Forest.

Now that would still mean Europe and be some achievement, but Champions League football has to be the main aim for the Reds moving forward.

A place in Europe awaits for Nottingham Forest

Evangelos Marinakis’ dream of securing European football has never looked better.

The fact that the January transfer window is now upon us can only be a good thing for Nottingham Forest, as the squad should only get stronger from here.

Nuno Espirito Santo has spoken about how crucial it was to hold on to key players during the summer months, so their policy will very much be the same in January.

Murillo will no doubt attract interest, but an exit is extremely unlikely.
