Paul Anderson assesses the wing-back system at Nottingham Forest

Former Nottingham Forest winger Paul Anderson believes the club has the necessary personnel to successfully implement Oliver Glasner’s wing-back system. Speaking on the Shut Up And Show More Football podcast, Anderson noted that the formation requires high fitness levels and tactical intelligence to maintain numerical superiority across the pitch. He pointed out that the current squad includes defenders such as Murillo, Nikola Milenkovic, and Jair Cunha who are suited to this tactical setup. Anderson also suggested that the structure could create more space for midfielders Morgan Gibbs-White and James McAtee. Despite Nottingham Forest struggling to secure a victory in the first three league matches of the season, Anderson maintained that the system will yield results once the players adjust to the demands of the formation. The team continues to work on integrating these tactical changes as the season progresses.
