Glasner's arrival at the City Ground has resulted in a change in formation, with the 3-4-2-1 set-up being implemented. This will take time for the players to adapt to, but there have been positive signs in pre-season. The club has three high-quality centre-backs to form the foundation of Glasner's masterplan.

The team's previous campaign was marked by a relegation battle, with players jumping from one style to another at a moment's notice. With Glasner at the helm, things should be more straightforward. A lack of European football will no doubt help the squad, and a more settled environment should be beneficial for Dan Ndoye and Dilane Bakwa.

Forest are seeking to sign a new striker, with Chris Wood's injury record and ageing body raising questions about his ability to lead the line for a full season. Liam Delap is of interest, and feels like the ideal candidate if Forest can prise him away from Chelsea.
