Another good piece of business. Always shore up the defense. Which has been as leaky as a notts codger's incontinence bag.

We'll see if we get Bryam on loan and I gather Dowell is also available for loan, dunno if Senor Karanka would be interested though but he's a fine lad, a benefit to whichever club that lands him.

Well all's that left is to batten down the hatches and ensure we become hard to beat and pick as many points as possible. It'll probably not lead to success, but after several seasons of comedic defending, a more resolute team with hopefully some memorable victories in the campaign, will leave me rather satisfied. In the top 10, within touching distance of 6th for longish spells and maybe a lengthy cup run, that should be something Forest fans should be content with.
