Not aimed at you in isolation Trents but I don’t know why fans worry themselves about this kind of thing. It’s a long season and everyone will have game time. If Biancone is better than Worrall he will play, if not he won’t. Same with everyone puzzling over McKenna and Niakhate. The key is having options

Yeah it’s a good position where at worst we start our well thought of captain, who has been great for us. At best we have signed someone even better for only £5m

Yeah I think the same. And when you look at it right now, assuming we sign Neco and fill 1 CM and CAM spot, we have attacking bench options of:

Surridge, Lolley, Cafu, Mighten, Taylor, Silva, Ojeda...

Outside of Sam, not sure any of these impact a game or would fill me with any confidence.

We certainly have 2 more starters to get in midfield, but not a fair few depth pieces needed.

Realistically we want a bench of: Hennessy, Cook, NEW LB, Biancone, Colback, NEW CM/CAM, NEW LW (versatile attacker), Surridge, NEW ST

I don't necessarily think we need to be making 5 subs a game, but if we can end up with a quality of squad that allows a bit of rotation, and at least one or two subs in the second half at some point of most games that'd be helpful.

I agree with your take on the bench, although might suggest both new CM and new AM on the bench, rather than either Surridge or 'new ST', if we did get a new CM and new AM outside of the starting XI, and also a versatile attacker who could play as a striker himself potentially, at least in a 2 up front line-up (which is maybe Surridge's role otherwise, but if we didn't add a better option at striker Surridge could still get that place on the bench - we do probably need a squad addition as striker though I'm thinking regardless, without Grabban being around anymore).

Ojeda might be plenty good enough to be in the mix though - I don't know enough about him to really say I think that, but it's possible I'd disagree a little there maybe.

Oh I'm not worried, just trying to figure out a best XI when all are fit. A nice problem for SC to figure out.

5 subs in 'Sunday league'? Fat Ian with the van might get a game.

Though they may last longer as the players take it in turns to amble off the pitch from the furthest point away.

They have to go off at the closest point of the pitch now anyway, you hardly see players walk the length of the pitch anymore

Kind of funny he's played nearly as many senior international games as he has senior first team games but played in wins against Porto and Milan last season in the CL. Obviously it was always going to be tough for him to be a regular for Liverpool when they've got TAA as first choice for years to come. Great signing.

This is another great signing.

Really, really clever signings so far from Forest, reinforcements exactly where they were needed.
