Newly promoted side Ipswich Town are the most recent focus of this series
For a full breakdown check out the brilliant document produced by @Thomas_Lane11
Remember to comment your team + 5 positions below! 👇
LCB: Eiran Cashin
Derby have already lost a key player, so they’ll be reluctant to let go of Cashin too. But there are scarce few better left sided centre backs than the young Irishman
I’m a big fan of sides recruiting players from the division they’ve been promoted from
RB: Fankaty Dabo
Ipswich may want to add some Championship experience, with free agent Dabo providing just that
He was part of a Coventry side who were almost promoted. He’s better than that penalty miss, and would add genuine quality to their side
CM: Oliver Norburn
Another experienced operator they could add is transfer listed Norburn. He had a strong end to the campaign and has been a regular in the Championship recently too
Peterborough isn’t TOO far from Ipswich, so the geography works too.
RW: Josh Bowler
A player who is in need of a career revival is Bowler, who will surely be surplus to requirements at Forest
He’s shown in the past he’s an excellent player at this level, netting 11 goals in his last 2 Championship seasons. A loan move would work well
ST: Sam Smith
One of the released strikers who will be most sought after is Cambridge’s Smith. He’s hit double figures yet again in a below average side, and I feel he’s capable of the step up
Cambridge is around an hour from Ipswich too so the geography works too

We’ve got a couple of players away on international duty at the moment, one of which is Jodi Jones with Malta
A lot of us will watch him again England tomorrow - but here’s how he got on earlier in the week
The first thing to note is Jodi played up front for Malta. They played a 3-5-2 system, with JJ high up the pitch
He’d often be the striker to drop in. His play with back to goal was surprisingly very strong. Here brings his team mate into play, playing round the corner superbly
You can see here again he drops off to receive the ball, meaning he has to play with his back to goal
But what I like is the way he lays the ball off but then looks to spin in behind
He’s at his strongest facing goal, and he does everything possible to get into these positions
Here are 5 players they could look at based on YOUR suggestions
Comment what team + 5 positions I should do next! 👇
CB: Nando Pijnaker
A player I recently featured in my Transfer Recruitment Doc (pinned tweet), New Zealand international Pijnaker has had an exceptional season in Ireland
A progressuve ball carrier, the left sided centre back is just 24, so has room to develop
CM: Archie Collins
Collins played almost every game for Exeter last season in League 1, and he is now available on a free transfer
At 23 he’s another that could develop nicely, as well as already having League 1 experience. Capable in a variety of roles also has an eye for goal
The latest instalment is Championship side Millwall
Here are 5 players they could look at
Remember to comment what team I should do next plus 5 positions! 👇
GK: Ethan Horvath
Promotion winner Horvath is likely to be available again, as Forest are stacked in the keeper department. I also feel Luton will look at an experienced PL stopper
This means the big American could be available, either on loan or on the cheap
LB: Sam McCallum
Left back was extremely difficult, however one player I do feel has a lot of upside is 22 year old McCallum
He’s had 3 campaigns at Championship level now. He’s entering the final year of his contract, so may be available on a cheap deal
