'I expect Elanga and Hudson-Odoi to be less predictable'

BBC Radio Nottingham's Colin Fray told the Shut Up And Show More Football podcast he is expecting positive seasons for forwards Anthony Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi:

"I suspect that Nuno and his staff will have really sat down with players this summer to instil belief. They will have been pushing an open door because the players will have been receptive to it.

"Hudson-Odoi in particular ended last season on a real high. His form was outstanding, scoring lots of goals and looking a real threat every time he got on the ball.

"He was starting to go both ways instead of always cutting in. We know his danger when he's cutting but so too do defenders. They can't always defend against him because he is a good player and when he cuts in he is dangerous - that's where he gets most of his goals from.

"But if you also don't know whether he is going to cut in or he might go outside you then you can't commit as the defender until it might be too late

"That is what Elanga has been talking about as well - that ability to go one way or another so the defender is unsure. To be less predictable. That is going to be the next stage of progression.

"Elanga had a good tally last season in terms of goals and assists but he wants better. He has the determination to improve and the confidence to go with it.

"If that happens it can only be to Forest's benefit."
