Nottingham Forest vs Brentford: Match Preview

Nottingham Forest’s season depends on how they deal with the added pressure of European football, after being promoted to compete in the Europa League, following CAS’s (Court of Arbitration for Sport) ruling that Crystal Palace be demoted to the Conference League.

The Tricky Trees lost winger Anthony Elanga to Newcastle United, in what most will agree was a worthwhile deal given the fee paid.

But having kept hold of club captain Morgan Gibbs-White and now, looking set to complete the signing of James McAtee, their squad should cope.

Ola Aina extended his stay and was one of the Premier League’s best for attacking output last season. The former Chelsea man will have to repeat that feat if Nuno wants further success this term.

Forest’s biggest piece of business was the acquisition of former Bologna man Dan Ndoye, who arrived for a fee in the region of £34m. The Swiss international made 8 appearances in the UEFA Champions League last year and looks a solid addition.

Brentford have had a cataclysmic summer, losing top scorer and star man Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United. The Cameroon international isn’t the only one to seek pastures new, with long-standing manager Thomas Frank moving to Tottenham Hotspur to assume the reins in north London.

There is also Yoane Wissa too, who looks to be on his way to Newcastle United, and his goal tally of 19 last term will also be a huge miss. Mikkel Damsgaard also sealed a switch to Arsenal. Acquiring goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher looks to be a smart ploy, with Dango Outtara on his way from Bournemouth.

New manager Keith Andrews has quite the task on his hand, and some have suggested staying in the Premier League may be the Bees’ aim this season.

Whatever happens, making the Gtech a fortress once more will be pivotal, and an away win on the opening day would go a long way to easing those summer woes.
