Tweak to the formation is interesting. I’m excited to see what we’re going with.

I think a sensible move would be to play two in holding midfield (Berge and Norwood) and let the midfield in front of them and wingbacks have free reign. A bit like that Carlos/Cafu Brazil team but not 4-4-2.

3-4-1-2?
 
The quotes in the article are from last month, the other sections could be anytime, last week, as of last night etc. It also doesnt say 2 announced it says 2 on the coach

I still wouldn't read it as including Foderingham. He's been with us for a good month now and will have been involved in a month's training.

Still, I'm surprised another signing would have gone under the radar, but we'll see.
 

kind of. The wingbacks have found it more difficult to get forward in the second half of the season. Playing 2 holding midfielders just gives more of a screen. Would also allow us to play Fleck in front or a more attack minded midfielder. Just a variation on a theme really. I don't think we're dangerous through the middle, especially without Lunny. Our best bet is to release the wingbacks more/earlier, which would also improve our counter attacking. And a more attack-minded midfielder would add extra support to the strikers and an extra body in the box for any crosses. Lunny did that a fair bit but at the same time it exposed Baldock.

more 3-2-2-1-2 Not necessarily an out and out AMC, but to have that option. I would expect the two holding midfielders to sit deeper than the wingbacks, at times. It allows a lot of flex as well in terms of changing things round during a game.

Also it doesn’t say two, it says at least two...

If potential signings come in...

At this point in time, other than Hendo, our team is virtually still the same as it was last season.
With the exception that Lundstram wants to leave, but Moose ( at least from his comments ) seems more committed to the club.
Why do people suddenly think we are going to collapse in our results ???

We will be getting another goalkeeper, I for one think Rambo is nailed on ( no reason other than I trust Tufty ),
Yes other clubs are bolstering their squads ( they did that before the begining of last season )
We will bring players in from out of the blue as Wilder has done in previous seasons.

If you dont like what's happening go & support Wendy, or Manure

Because standing still in the PL is suicide. Teams like Everton etc spend £100m a year (sometimes no good) but you can expect the league to get stronger year on year. That’s why we have to move forward thus the need for signings.
 
Could also see a Cash competing for the ten role with Fleck. Quick feet, fast, drives forward with the ball.
Wilder will no doubt be looking to assemble a flexible squad with players capable of playing in a number of positions

Totally think that there will be flexibility next season.
 
Wouldn't be surprised if we see some news about Cash before weekend. Read somewhere that we were preparing a £4m + 2 players offer for Cash

If those rumours are true we must REALLY want him! Will be interesting to see how it develops
 

Yes mate I’ve seen the rumours. Me and my Forest mate discussed it yesterday.
It’s some deal though... if it’s Freeman + Robinson + 4mil!
I’d be very excited by it as it shows just how much the team want him!
And for the record... I think the majority of Forest fans would be content too. It’s an appealing deal for them so it’s win win. Which means it’s got potential
 
Freeman (£5M) + Robinson (£7M) as well as £4M for competition at right back? Erm . . . . . . not happening now is it?
Would like to keep both of these players as i think they have something to offer attacking wise. However, if it IS Freeman plus one other you'd have to assume it'd be more likely to be say Freeman + Bryan or Moore plus £4M surely?!
 
Apparently Forest manager isnt happy with that Brice Samba's conduct thats why he was dropped for last 2 games, maybe offering a keeper is the way to go.
 
100% agree with this. If we are going to play a No10. We need options and Freeman is a good one.

He is but then losing Freeman to Forest may be our only hope of landing Cash and we're probably looking at another centre mid anyway and wouldn't be surpsied that we're ok losing Freeman, Wilder hardly played him last season of course, that would indicate he's not only considered as squad player, and Freeman probably wants to play more especially at 28.

Agreed, I wouldnt be suprised if we do lose Freeman. I just feel he could do that No10 role well, and maybe is one of those that "comes good" in the second season. Who knows, in Wilder we trust.

I'm sure he could do that role also, I was delighted when we signed Freeman, its a shame he hasn't had much pitch time, but as you say Wilder deserves our full respect to his decisions and others such as Lundstram stepped up to a level that we didn't know he had. Shame he's leaving but I'm excited to see who comes in also.
