Reporter Paul Taylor gave his verdict on the five things that Forest manager Billy Davies needs to do in order for the club to have a chance of promotion (Friday, June 21)
"He's rarely brought good players to the club; it's always seemed that players are not that excited about the prospect of playing under him and unless they have been here already and get up a relationship with the fans they rarely sign. I sincerely hope this changes in the next week or two and I'm proven wrong with some stellar signings.

"What we will need (team wise) this season to get us out of the league is:
1) A hard man/leader in front of the back four. Someone who can gee the lads up when things are not going our way.
2) A pacey wide man or two. Last season, teams were able to stop us playing by flooding the midfield. A speedy wide man will mean we can break quickly when the opportunity arises.
3) Either we sign Sharp or another reliable striker. Not saying Dex and Cox are not capable but we need a reliable partner who is a poacher-type striker to act as their foil.
4) I would like to think that Lascelles will get his chance this season but, if not, another big centre-back is required

"Following on from my previous post, Billy Sharp has tweeted that he's looking to join his local Virgin Active gym... in Nottingham. Someone has Tweeted him and asked him if Forest is still an option and he replied "I hope so". Watch this space.

Motorists trying to access Station Road from London Road could end up with a £60 fine. It is part of ongoing building works at Nottingham station. (Saturday, June 22)
Most towns are trying to encourage people to use the railways to reduce other traffic. But, as anyone who wants to catch a train actually has to be able to get to the station, Nottingham seems to be shooting itself in the foot as they have now managed to block almost every road that leads to it. If you cannot drive to the station to pick up/drop off friends and family then no one is going to consider catching a train, are they?
