In the final part of Friday’s Q&A session, our Nottingham Forest expert Colin Fray assesses where the squad might need to improve.

David asked: As great as Forest have been this season so far, to move on to the next level, where do you think the squad could be improved?

Colin answered: Any manager will tell you there is always the chance to improve the squad. No manager will ever be fully happy with where they are because there is always something else to aim at.

As has been said many times by many people, I think they will look to add depth to the striker position but they will not be held to ransom and they will be keeping an eye on the figures.

One or two signings can often make a big difference. Look at how solid Nikola Milenkovic and Murillo have been as a centre-back pairing. You would say that has taken Forest up a level but that will not mean they are not still looking to improve in every position.

Matz Sels’ recent good form has perhaps moved the conversation on from bringing in another goalkeeper, but they may feel they want to add a third senior goalkeeper to give them a bit more cover – or ideally, to challenge Sels for the start.
