Most league clean sheets in 2018 (top 4 tiers; including Play offs):
18: FOREST, Liverpool, Boro, Wigan, Blackpool, Southend
17: Villa
16: Wolves, Rochdale
Just need to start banging more in the other end and we'll have a good 2nd half to the season.
Aitor is sorting it out...

Not going to lose many games if the defence remain as mean as this. Not prolific enough to perhaps be considered as more than possible play off candidates, though on the flip side.

Have a feeling Murphy will be off to Ipswich in Jan and Karanka will be able to bring a different striker in. Murphy has had flashes of good form during his time at the CG but never a clear run of it. If Forest can supplement Grabban with someone who can bang a dozen goals in over the second half of the season, that would take the pressure off him.

It’s a strange one, because I would say we are vulnerable at the back, particularly if pressed!
This time last year I would never dream we would be associating with such stat’s so it is most welcome

Offensively, they look lively most of the time. This means that even teams like Derby, normally quite a passing side, are pushed back trying to track the likes of Lolley and the other forwards, meaning they resort to more direct football that is lapped up by Colback and Yacob. This was clearly in evidence in Monday’s game from what I saw of it.

Certainly another goal scorer, with a bit of pace would be a massive plus
Could be a great investment given the platform the first half of the season has given us. The signings Fulham made in Jan last year made all the difference

Someone to take the creative pressure off Lolley when the likes of Carvalho have a quite spell.
