Regardless of your take on it, you can't help but admire what they're doing to try and achieve survival. They really are building a decent squad there considering how much work was needed.

Agreed.

In some instances the recruiting looks a bit haphazard - kind of buying players for the sake of buying them, with no regard for how they fit in to the way they play - but if they gel they could have a decent season.

It's going to be a very interesting season, you could mount a decent argument for any of the bottom 10 sides to find themselves in relegation trouble.

Absolutely. Could go further and suggest a few of those 7-10 historic teams could find themselves in Evertons position last year too with how competitive things are becoming (United perhaps) although things will likely start to level out and teams start to drop away. Just hope it isn't us!

Today must be the first time I've wanted WHU to win.

Seems a bit early to celebrate the quality of their squad.

Somerset Fulham

I must sat that this game is six minutes old and they already look a 1,000 times better than they did last week.

West Ham still comfortable though and look like they will weather the early storm.

On paper I think it's at the least an admirable attempt at building a EPL squad no?

People were saying the same about our squad when we "did a Fulham". Vietto, Schürrle, Mawson, Anguissa, Seri, Fabri, Chambers and Fosu Mensah were all rated to do well before the season started.

Yeh, don't disagree but again, it was without hindsight, an admirable attempt. We also had a lot to do that season to build a squad good enough to compete. I'd wager Forest will do better than we did with what they've built but likely still fall short.

Benrahma has Neco on toast so far.

In a weird way, I think both are playing good games really. Much as you'd expect, Neco much better going forwards.


Somerset Fulham

Yep. Williams is much, much better going forward but Benrahma is ghosting past him at will.

Still, Forest one up and not really deserved. Its been a strange game.

Not much recent, or any,Prem experience there, though - the Prem experienced Mawsome hardly played through injury, and Chambers was our Player of  the Season, while our 'big' foreign signings of Seri, Anguissa, Fabri, Schurrle failed to impress, though having little time to integrate into the team.

Williams looking very good going forward for Forest, Linguard too.

Grassy Noel

Watching Neco's efforts it looks so familiar. Really positive in attack and a liability in defence. I always fancied him as a winger or attacking midfield


Blawarmy

Dodgy ref decisions going Forests way. Again. [emoji848]

It'll be interesting seeing if Forest can maintain this pace.
