I feel really integrated and you feel the trust of the club behind you, which is really nice. I want to be a future leader of this club.

As long as I am doing my stuff on the training pitch, then I'm happy and the rest takes care of European football: "It would be amazing to get minutes in Europe but as long as I'm improving and can look back next season and see progress, that's the most important thing."BBC Nottingham's Colin Fray added: "You can see the makings of a potential leader in Abbott. The way he talks at such a young age and his ambition. He has a mixture of humility and ambition, plus lots of talent."This is about building on an unbelievable year for him, especially at Wembley.

New EV sites are popping up across the country Electric vehicle motorists are being offered complimentary charging for an entire week as a new ultra-rapid charging facility is completed. RAW Charging, which is operating the site, is marking the launch with seven days of cost-free charging. It's part of its Connecting Amazing Places summer initiative, designed to enhance day trips for EV owners nationwide. Between Monday, July 21, and Sunday, July 27, all electric vehicle users can power up their cars without charge at the new location, McArthurGlen West Midlands. The facility boasts 10 charging bays, featuring two priority spaces and contactless payment systems. While vehicles charge, drivers can browse more than 65 designer outlets alongside various cafés and eateries. RAW Charging said that the site's completion "reinforces RAW's long-term partnership with McArthurGlen Group, which has seen the installation of more than 385 EV charging bays across the group's UK and European portfolio". This West Midlands development represents the final UK venue to become operational. The new West Midlands hub forms part of a nationwide promotion running throughout RAW's network from mid-July into August. The campaign showcases RAW's expanding presence at popular retail, leisure and hospitality venues across Britain. Jason Simpson, CEO of RAW Charging, said: "We're thrilled to bring our West Midlands destination online to complete the broader programme with McArthurGlen. This activation reinforces RAW's role as a key infrastructure partner for retail locations across Europe.

David Jackson, who oversees UK facilities at McArthurGlen and manages the West Midlands centre, said: "This project is another great example of RAW's ability to deliver high-impact solutions for everyday destinations. As EV ownership grows, it's essential that infrastructure grows with it - and this new West Midlands hub is designed to make sustainable driving simple for local communities and visitors alike."

Is Forest replacing Palace in the Europa League a 'black-and-white' decision?
The Shut Up And Show More Football panel have been discussing Nottingham Forest's ascension to the Europa League after Crystal Palace were demoted to the Conference League for breaching multi-club ownership chairman Steve Parish has described the Uefa decision as "the biggest injustice in the history of football" and confirmed they will be appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas), but BBC Radio Nottingham's David Jackson and Colin Fray see the verdict as "black and white" and point the finger at mistakes within the Eagles' hierarchy."There's an appeal coming," Jackson told the podcast."It all seems rather messy - however, it does seem black and white. There's precedent before, there was a rule set, and as cross as the Palace fans are with the Forest ownership and Uefa, you think maybe there should also be anger at Crystal Palace."They could have seen the potential of this coming. They could have put plans in place but didn't and therefore they have missed out.""That's exactly right," added Fray."When you listen to some of the interviews from those involved in Palace, there's almost an acceptance that they have missed this deadline and didn't do something about it when they should have done."John Textor is now trying to sell his shares and that hasn't completely gone through but in any case it doesn't matter because there was a deadline that has been missed. The fact that he is only a 43% shareholder in Crystal Palace doesn't make any difference, it is over Uefa's stipulated limit. It seems there is a black-and-white breach here."I think there is a general feeling Cas is going to kick that appeal out."Listen to the full episode on BBC Sounds
