As Gary O’Neill gets ready to lead his Wolves team to the City Ground on Saturday, he has already revealed what surprises him about Nottingham Forest this season.
In a 1-1 draw at Molineux in December, Nottingham Forest and Wolves shared the points, with Harry Toffolo scoring for the Reds.
Given that Luton is only four goals ahead of Nuno Espirito Santo’s team in 18th place, Nottingham Forest would not likely benefit from a similar outcome this time around. What, therefore, has surprised Gary O’Neil about Nottingham Forest? Let’s examine this… Nottingham Forest surprises Gary O’Neill It’s unbelievable that Nottingham Forest is stuck in 17th place, according to the man from Beckenham.
During his news conference earlier on Friday, O’Neil acknowledged that he had high expectations for the Reds this season, particularly considering Evangelos Marinakis’ level of commitment. “When I look at the depth they have and the money they’ve spent, it’s a real surprise that they are where they are,” the 40-year-old is reported as saying by the BBC.
To be honest, we have to concur. During the summer, Nottingham Forest recruited some extremely potential players, including explosive wingers Anthony Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi, who strengthened the attack. Ibrahim Sangare, a standout midfield midfielder who was a UEFA Champions League qualifier for PSV Eindhoven before going to the City Ground in a £30 million move, also signed. Unfortunately, despite having quality at his disposal, Nuno has also unable to assemble a winning streak, and Steve Cooper was unable to forge a cohesive team with these new additions.
As previously mentioned, Nottingham Forest has several very talented football players who, should they be relegated, would probably want to stay in the Premier League or another top European league.
That implies that the City Ground’s player turnover is likely to be extremely chaotic if they drop into the Championship, since players like Morgan Gibbs-White and Murillo would undoubtedly leave.
Even if Nottingham Forest manages to hang on, Tottenham is one team that might make a bid for Gibbs-White. If relegation occurs, Marinakis will probably have to manage another hectic summer at the City Ground with regard to arrivals and departures.
