Nottingham Forest news: Opinion - Fan scorecard on 2024-25 season

1 month ago | bbc.com | Pat Riddell

Season rating: 8/10. Another two goals on the final day, or another two points in the run-in, and it could have been a nine. That and winning the FA Cup would probably have made it a 10. Happy with your manager? Absolutely delighted. Nuno Espirito Santo took the bones of this squad, spent pre-season instilling his methods and tactics, and brought the best out of every one of his first XI. Granted, there were a few moments when you could question his judgement - but they were rare.

The fact that Nottingham Forest are even close to qualifying for the Champions League seems like some kind of wild dream. Having gained promotion to the Premier League in 2022 - after a long, long absence - we have battled relegation for two seasons and, for many, a solid mid-table finish was really all we could hope for.

There is no question that Sels is one of the Premier League's players of the season, let alone Forest's. Thirteen clean sheets in the league, multiple game-winning saves and three penalty shootouts have seen the 33-year-old Belgian become an essential part of the success this season. Wood became Forest's record goalscorer in the Premier League in December - sneaking ahead of Bryan Roy's 24 - and with 20 goals has had his best-ever season.

And so Sunday has shaped up to be the showdown we were almost always expecting. For all Nottingham Forest's trials and tribulations this season, the last day of the season was never going to be a walk in the park. It is, of course, a time for celebration. To go from the brink of relegation to the brink of the Champions League is an incredible achievement. European football is already guaranteed, yet three competitions remain within our grasp.

Nottingham Forest news: Opinion - A 'remarkable achievement' that creates 'conflicting emotions'

Nottingham Forest have, arguably, only done as well as they have this season because of their lack of injuries. And Forest have, arguably, only stumbled in recent weeks because of injuries. Key players like Chris Wood, Murillo, Anthony Elanga, Ola Aina and Callum Hudson-Odoi have missed important games in the past few months, and their absence has been notable at both ends of the pitch distinctly because the Reds have overperformed.

Nottingham Forest news: Opinion - How do the Reds make 'landmark season' a 'building block'?

1 month ago | bbc.com | Pat Riddell

This season is undoubtedly a success, but nobody is going to really say that until we can quantify what 'success' means. Getting to our first FA Cup semi-final in three decades was a huge moment, but sadly was not an occasion we to rose to. Being in the top four of the Premier League for so long, and safe from relegation by January, is a million miles away from the reality of battling relegation in the previous two seasons.
