Defensively solid and with a prolific goal scorer up top. The Ipswich win will not live long in the memory, but #NFFC could be rediscovering their identity in the right moment. www.nytimes.com/athletic/595... Nuno Espirito Santo’s Forest have rediscovered their identity at just the right time

It should be a reasonably quiet window for #NFFC, who only need to strengthen in one or two areas, following some impressive recruitment. The key for Nuno will again be retaining his ‘core’. www.nytimes.com/athletic/595... Nottingham Forest Transfer DealSheet: What to expect in 2025
