Oliver Glasner has preached patience at Nottingham Forest, and fan sentiment largely mirrors that, though expectations for the season have edged towards mid table, according to Nottingham Post.

After five games Forest sit 13th in the Premier League with five points. A 2-1 win at Aston Villa marked the high point so far, followed by defeat to Coventry City at the City Ground before the international break.

Half of respondents forecast a finish between 11th and 14th. A further 21 percent see 15th to 17th. Seven percent fear relegation could be a risk.

Others are more upbeat, with 19 percent backing sixth to 10th and three percent even picturing a top-five push. While a European return is the ultimate aim, steering clear of another scrap at the bottom remains the priority.

Glasner has reiterated there is no magic button and that adapting to his methods will take time. He suggested lingering scars as he reshapes a squad that had four managers last season.

Supporters asked to sum up the start in three words offered a broad sweep, from work in progress and team in transition to slow but improving and still firing blanks. Others urged patience, noted stable mid table or said underwhelming but with potential.
