A Nottingham Forest related question was put to chief football writer Phil McNulty in Monday's Q&A.

Karl asked: Hi Phil. I wanted to ask, after seven games and with 10 points already on the board, do you think that Nottingham Forest are now a force to be wary of?

Phil answered: Hello, Karl. I certainly think Forest look vastly improved on last season and to win away at Liverpool, then get a very creditable draw at Chelsea illustrates that. Nuno Espirito Santo has had time to work with the team after arriving last season and the signs are there that Forest are playing in a way he liked to employ at Wolves. Namely; solid in defence, pace on the flanks and dangerous on the counter attack. It has been a really good start.
