Nottingham Forest news: Opinion - How do the Reds make 'landmark season' a 'building block'?
This season is undoubtedly a success, but nobody is going to really say that until we can quantify what 'success' means. Getting to our first FA Cup semi-final in three decades was a huge moment, but sadly was not an occasion we to rose to. Being in the top four of the Premier League for so long, and safe from relegation by January, is a million miles away from the reality of battling relegation in the previous two seasons. The next three games are obviously huge for Nottingham Forest, yet it is also important to recognise this progress and admire just how far we have come. And, with that in mind, the question - whatever happens in the next few weeks - is how do we build on this success? How do the Reds make this landmark season a building block, rather than just a one-off? Can Wembley visits, European competition and the right end of the Premier League become a regular fixture? Strengthening the squad is clearly key to this future. We do not necessarily need a bigger squad but performing beyond expectations this season has shown up our limitations and, having gone so long without serious injuries, recent weeks have exposed our lack of depth. The signings of Nikola Milenkovic and Elliot Anderson last summer have been the difference for Forest this season, with both players making the first XI a force to be reckoned with. But without real competition for Chris Wood, Anthony Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi, we have struggled. Similarly, while low possession and counter-attacking football has been the Reds' trademark - what next? How do we progress to keeping more of the ball, controlling games and creating or converting more chances? These are evidently not questions for the here and now, but in order to build on this yet-to-be-quantified success it is important to recognise progress - and ensure it is lasting.
