Nottingham Forest news: Colin Fray reflects on season

The team at BBC Radio Nottingham’s Shut Up And Show More Football podcast looked back on a mixed season for Forest, after missing out on Champions League football by only two points.

Host David Jackson asked Colin Fray for his reflection on the Premier League season at the City Ground and he said: “Overall you have to commend them for what’s been an incredible season.

“A totally unexpected challenge for anywhere near the top half of the table which ended up prolonging into a challenge for European football, and they’ve ended up getting European football.

“They doubled their points tally from last season, they’ve take so many strides in so many areas but at the same time, I’m sure that there is some regret about what’s happened over the last few weeks of the season.

“I’m sure there are very good reasons for it, I’m sure a lot of the players have just hit a brick wall in terms of fatigue, tiredness, injuries and I think some of them have been playing through injuries and I think that’s affected them over the run-in.

“It’s easy to say now if they had added a couple of players [in the January transfer window] then I’m fairly sure it gives them an extra couple of points.”
