Ian Wright has expressed his admiration for Nottingham Forest’s strong start to the season in the Premier League, praising the team for overcoming early hurdles and finding their footing. Despite a rocky beginning that included a manager change, points deduction, and relegation battles, Forest currently sit in 10th place with just one loss in seven games.
The team’s success can be attributed to their smart moves in the summer transfer window, with players like Nikola Milenkovic and James Ward-Prowse bolstering the squad. Wright commended these acquisitions on the Stick to Football podcast, noting that critics who initially doubted Forest are now singing a different tune.
Wright highlighted the impressive performances of players like Milenkovic and Murillo in defense, as well as the solid midfield duo of Yates and Ward-Prowse. With added depth on the wings in players like Ramon Sosa and Jota Silva, and a focal point in Chris Wood up front, Forest’s squad is looking stronger than ever.
Overall, Wright believes Forest have silenced their naysayers and are now on a steady path towards success in the Premier League.
