Nottingham Forest podcast: Mark Crossley on fine start and hopes for rest of season

"You never know what could happen."

That's the view of former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Mark Crossley, who joined BBC Radio Nottingham's Shut Up and Football podcast to discuss the Reds' excellent start to the season.

Crossley was part of the Forest squad that finished third in the top flight in 1994-95 and says "all the foundations are there" for the current team to emulate that success.

"We didn't think that we would finish third in the Premier League, no way," he said. But once you get into a bit of momentum, like the boys are doing now, and the manager has got a real grip of them, you never know what could happen.

"When you have the confidence, you've got a striker in form, a goalkeeper playing well, a back four that look organised and a midfield that look fantastic... all the foundations are there. Let's just keep hoping the team continue performing."

Next up for Nuno Espirito Santo's side is the visit of a resurgent Newcastle before the international break, followed by trips to title challengers Manchester City and Arsenal and a home game against Ipswich Town.

"If we can come out of the next four games with a decent amount of points then we are there," Crossley added.
