Nottingham Forest FC – Transfer news, results, fixtures, video and audio

On the latest episode of BBC Radio Solent’s Saints and Sinners podcast, England cricket legend and Nottingham Forest fan Stuart Broad has been giving the insight into Southampton’s next opponents.

The cricketer, who was born in Nottingham, said: “I think we’ve made some brilliant signings this year, we look stronger and it was a disappointing result with Bournemouth at the weekend [a 1-1 draw].

“That is probably a really good place for us to be, if we’re disappointed not getting three points against Bournemouth – it shows we’ve got a strong group of players.”

Speaking about Saturday’s upcoming fixture, Broad said: “I think there will be goals, from memory last time it was a freezing cold night and both teams were struggling a little bit.

“The atmosphere was a little bit edgy – whereas this, both teams have hope and we’re still at that stage where we’re both buzzing with hope, so I think it will be a lively encounter.

“Forest will still try to play counter attack and try to nick the ball and get forward pretty quickly with Elanga and Hudson-Odoi.

“Chris Wood has found an amazing way of scoring goals, every time I think it may be one year too many for him, bang – he scores again.”

Broad added: “If we get a point at St Mary’s, then I’m happy.”
