COLIN Calderwood has stated Nottingham Forest must find the right forward combination next season to fulfil their potential in the Coca-Cola Championship.
The Reds boss has brought in Rob Earnshaw from Derby in a £2.65m move but is yet to finalise the long term futures of Nathan Tyson, Junior Agogo and Grant Holt.
The latter two have both been linked with moves away from the City Ground whilst Tyson has stalled on a new contract offer.
And the Reds boss didn’t dismiss other forwards may arrive before July, highlighting a system must be found in the warm-up games that suits his personnel.
He said: “We’ve got to find the right combination and that’s why pre-season we’d want to have everybody in.”
“I think you can sometimes have almost opposites or too similar and sometimes that two strikers that don’t really gel together.”
“It’ll be interesting to see the link up with all the forward players. The important thing now is the service we get to them.”
“The one thing we don’t lack is good set play delivers in the team which is always useful to have.”
He also said it was important to plug the creativity gap offset by the loss of Kris Commons to Derby County.
He added: “We’ve lost Kris(Commons) who’s a major provider of goals and it’ll be interesting what comes out of the squad and that’s all for our pre-season work.”
“We’ll try one or two combinations and try and get the best formation and formula for ourselves.”
“In losing Kris we’ve obviously lost someone who can conjure something with the ball, a good set play deliver and someone who could play as a winger.”
“We’ve got to adjust around that a little bit so maybe we need someone with a little bit of width.”
