We asked you for your views on how Nottingham Forest have started the season – and where you thought they might finish.

A whopping 83% of respondents opted for 11th-17th – and the comments we received are reflective of that:

Des: Careful, considered and balanced window. Tremendous work that gives me great hope and optimism for the coming season. It was a shame about the strikers but I prefer to be with our two plus potential replacements from within the squad if they are injured or not up to form rather than the usual panic buys/loans!

Quilty: I’m really looking forward to what James Ward Prowse is going to bring to the squad this season – he’s proven to be a class act. An excellent addition to the team. I don’t know too much about the other recent acquisitions but feel that if Nuno gets it right tactically and is prepared to give it a go, I’m optimistic of a mid-table position.

Kris: After three games it’s hard to draw too many conclusions, but one thing that stands out is our tendency to switch off. Against Bournemouth and Wolves, we’ve conceded goals that were easily avoided, dropping four points in the process. I’m hoping Nikola Milenkovic continues to impress in defence and Ward Prowse can improve our goal return from set pieces.

Neil: A shrewd transfer window has been great to see and that we have been able to bolster and improve the bones of a side that is growing in confidence and understanding of one another. I have high hopes for a more comfortable season and a finish on or around mid table.

Dave: We’re looking more solid so far but the test will be against the so-called bigger teams and how we cope against them. If we start turning draws into wins and become more clinical with our chances, I think we should be OK. Finishing 14-15th would be fine with me and we can push on from there.
