If their target is a top-seven finish, what's the difference from last season? With the strength they've built this season, they should be able to achieve better results than last season, at least striving to be in the top six of the Premier League.
At the start of last season, Nottingham Forest was able to compete at the top of the table and even finished second. However, unfortunately, their consistency declined midway through the season, ultimately resulting in a top-seven finish. Therefore, Nottingham Forest's primary task this season is to improve their consistency and maintain the performance of their players, especially given the tight schedule they face, as they face competition in the Premier League and the UEFA Europa League.
It was actually a disappointment from Nottingham Forest last season. They started their season with high spirit raising the hope of their fans and fumble towards the end of the season throwing away their chances to play in the champions league. They behaved like Arsenal last season and pay the optimum price. It wasn't bad finishing at that position initially but the impression they showcase at the start of the season made us believe they could do better. Likewise, I don't expect anything short from them this season other than doing better than last season.
