Nottingham Forest legend identifies the one area where high flying Reds can still improve

It's fantastic that Nottingham Forest are doing so well going into the second international break of the season.

So often it's been a case of using these two weeks to make much needed improvements to the team.

With Forest second in the Championship, it's more a case of making minor tweaks. My one concern - and it's a really minor one - is the lack of clear cut chances.

That's not to say that Forest don't look dangerous going forwards - they do. They looked dangerous against Brentford even though neither keeper had too much to do.

If anything, I would just like to see them get the ball in the box a little bit earlier for Lewis Grabban.

He'll want the ball in quickly so he can make those runs before defenders are set.

I'm sure Lewis is happy with the service he's getting overall. He's getting goals but if anything, Forest are just overplaying a little around the edge of the box.

I'm nit picking here, but that's what could take them over the edge to being right up there still at the end of the season.

They've got plenty of creative players, players that can nick them a goal and that's great to see.

If those players don't get you a winner, there's always Ben Watson!
