3. Neco Williams

4. Morato

5. Murillo

6. Ibrahim Sangaré

7. Callum Hudson-Odoi

8. Elliot Anderson

9. Taiwo Awoniyi

10. Morgan Gibbs-White

11. Chris Wood

14. Dan Ndoye

16. Nicolás Domínguez

17. Eric da Silva Moreira

18. Angus Gunn

19. Igor Jesus

20. Jota Silva

22. Ryan Yates

23. Jair Cunha

26. Matz Sels

27. Omar Richards

30. Willy Boly

31. Nikola Milenković

32. Marko Stamenic

33. Carlos Miguel

34. Ola Aina

36. David Carmo

44. Zach Abbott

63. Aaron Bott

Jota Silva, Richards and Stamenic have been given a squad number. Bott has as well so looks like he's the 3rd choice keeper (no Carlos Miguel) as things stand.

No Dennis or Bowler, unsurprisingly.

Tonight's team: Sels; Williams, Murillo, Milenkovic, Cunha, Anderson, Gibbs-White, Ndoye, Hudson-Odoi, Jesus, Wood

So it looks like Murillo at left-back ?

Could be 3 at the back, with Ndoye on the right flank and Williams on the left flank.

I've been a bit distracted with one thing and another ( and our pre season games so far have been underwhelming to say the least) but I'm getting round to having a look at our squad for this season. A few random thoughts.
I'd be glad to see Miguel go. For such a giant goalkeeper I've never seen him come for a cross. He doesn't even dominate his 6 yardsm box never mind the penalty area.
We are short up top. Woody was magnificent for us last season but he's not getting any younger. Taiwo yet to fire and no one knows if he will ever get back to 2 years ago after his injuries ( particularly the one which required stomach surgery). The problem is that prolific strikers are gold dust and extremely expensive, usually only available to the money bags top 4 teams.
Nuno likes to get his incomings in early so he can bed them in. Not the case this pre season I'm afraid.
Full backs are a bit light. After Aina and Nico we have to decide about young Moreira ( personally I'd keep him) and Omar Richards ( get rid imo).
All in all, our " first team " are probably good enough to get us mid table, provided MGW, Murillo haven't had their heads turned. both have had poor pre seasons so far. So Sels, Williams, Aina, Malenkovic, Murillo, Dominquez (when fit) Yates, Sangere, Jesus. Anderson, MGW. CHO, Ndoye, Wood. Then you have the 2nd string ( which we will need for whichever European competition we end up in) like Abbott, Jota, Moreira, Morato, Boly, Cunha Jair, Taiwo, etc. Plenty of decisions to be made and work to be done I think.

**UPDATES**

2 Players in each position? Squad taking shape.


Sels, **GUNN**

RB/ LWB:
Aina, (Traore? but prob new player)

LB/ LWB:
Williams, New Player

CB: Milenkovic, Murillo, Cuhna, Boly, Morato, Abbott?

DMF: Sangare, Luiz?

Box to box MF:
Yates, Anderson, MGW, Dominguez

Wing and Att MF:
Odoi, Ndoye, Traore?, (MGW), (Anderson), (Dominguez),

Striker: Wood, Jesus, Awoniyi


I've assumed Douglas Luiz or another MF is coming and also assumed we will get Traore.


GAPS

Left Back/ Right-back

**FOUR** more signings if you include Luiz and Traore. Five more if we sign another striker or attacker.

Another FB if Traore isn't used as a right WB)

Five more signings if you include Luiz and Traore. Six if we sign another striker or attacker.

Friendlies mean nothing if we don't sign another player this is the team and formation I'd like to see against Brentford

3-4-3

Sels

Jair
Milenkovic
Murrilo

Aina
Anderson
MGW
N'Doye

Jesus
Wood
Hudson Odoi.

We need

2 full backs (one preferably left-footed. )

1 winger on right

1 winger left

Another player who can play on the wing but hopefully other positions, (maybe as a striker or number 10 too, so maybe Jesus is already that player? )

hg = homegrown of which we can have 4

We easily have another 4 from other English clubs academies as we have Aina, Wood, Gibbs White, Williams, Anderson, Hudson-Odoi)


GKs: Sels, Miguel, Bott (hg)

FBs: Aina, Wiliams, Moreira/ BLANK, BLANK

CDs: Murillo, Milenkovic, Cunha, Boly, Morato, Abbott (hg)

MF: Sangare, Anderson, Yates (hg), Dominguez, Gibbs-White,

LW: Hudson-Odoi, BLANK

RW: BLANK/ Jota, BLANK

Str: Jesus, Wood, Awoniyi

That squad is 24 players for European comps

***We can't have 25 as we don't have 4 home-grown players from our own academy there. I think they are planning for Jesus/ Dominguez or whoever to be a backup for right wing. We will be able to just throw in someone from the academy for player 25 as things stand.

This would be a great starting team and formation imo change from low block counter attacking side

Sels

Aina RB
MilenkovicRCB
Jair LCB
Murrilo LB

Anderson 8
Sangare 6
Ramsey 10

Ndoye RW
Jesus CF
Hudson Odoi LW.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sels Aina Williams Milenkovic Murrilo Jair Abbott Sangare Dominguez Anderson Hudson Odoi Jesus Wood Yates will form the nucleus of our 25 man squad for next season so by my maths we need 11 more players before the season starts

??? frightening imo with the season less than a month away! Come on Edu crack on and do your job.

Agree0 Disagree0

Would like to see Forest be more attacking next season especially at home

If we sign Harvey Elliott we could play with 2 10's with Elliott on the left and MGW on the right creating chances for Jesus and Wood

If we sign Cuiabana he and Aina can provide width going forward and we could play a back three of Milenkovic Jair and Murrilo

Sels

Milenkovic
Jair
Murrilo

Aina
Anderson
Sangare
Cuiabana

MGW
Jesus
Elliott.

Sels

Aina

Sangare

Elanga
MGW
Hudson Odoi

Jesus

Subs Miguel Wood Yates Morato Abbott Moreira Dominguez Jota Awoniyi.
