As the season comes around, unsurprisingly, most Sky Bet Championship sides are very busy adding players to their ranks to try to ensure a successful season, as more than half the clubs in the division prepare for a promotion push.
Although they had a disappointing season last time out, finishing 21st, level on points with relegated Blackburn Rovers, Nottingham Forest will be in this category and will feel as though they can challenge for a top 6 finish.
Forest are undoubtedly one of the biggest clubs in the Championship when you consider their illustrious history, especially under the reign of Brian Clough, and ‘The Reds’ will want to write the wrongs of last year, and possibly secure a play-off place.
Although star man Britt Assombalonga has left the club for Middlesbrough, Forest still have a great squad, and are rumoured to make a few more additions, and this is how I believe they could line up in their first game on the opening day at home to newly promoted Millwall, in a 4-4-2 formation.
