You cant drop Haaland after scoring a hat trick.

Most of our goals conceded have been soft, lack of concentration ones. The type of situation you get away with in the Champ but not at this level. I’d like to think that Cooper will be addressing those mistakes as a matter of urgency, but we are actually pretty resilient at the back under pressure. We do need to get the front 3 sorted though. I don’t know if we’ll start with the the Lingard/MGW/Johnson front line. I’d like us to drop Lingard for Dennis. Last season we were lightening quick on the break but obviously in a higher league with a new team, it’s still not come together. Two key components last season were Jimmy Garner and Djed Spence. Ts a work in progress but I’m impressed with how quickly we are getting it together.

Nottingham crime rates could soar as the cost of living goes up, according to campaigners - CBJ Spotlight

The increased cost of living could result in more people committing crime, according to a Nottingham campaigner. Marcellus Baz, Chief Executive of Switch Up, also warned that there will be an increased demand on mental health services. Gas prices are set to rise by 54% in April for a typical...

Crime stats in Nottingham are misleading. This is because the city is split into four councils with the more affluent areas of the wider city falling in Rushcliffe, Broxtowe and Gedling. With the exception of Wollaton and a couple of pockets near the city centre the area that encompasses Nottingham City Council has all the worst areas contained within it. It would be the same if (for example) Didsbury, Withington and Chorlton were under a different local authority. The crime figures for Manchester would be worse.

Nottingham is safer than Manchester and Birmingham in my experience and certainly has discernibly less knife and gun crime.

Should be another win. Hopefully without trailing 1of 2 goals. I’m already looking twice my age.

Forest brought in a lot of players. Big spenders. They need time. Some very nice players in that team.

It’s good to see Forest in the Premier League again. Cooper is a really impressive manager. I think he’ll be successful at Forest.
