Elliot Anderson summed up a season that felt like a roller‑coaster for Nottingham Forest. Early cup exits to lower‑league sides, a relegation fight that melted away during an eight‑game unbeaten run, and four permanent managers – Nuno Espirito Santo, Ange Postecoglou, Sean Dyche and Vitor Pereira – defined the campaign. With two games left, the midfielder says the squad finally feels united overall.

Three straight victories – home against Burnley and away at Sunderland and Chelsea – secured Forest’s Premier League safety this season. Pereira’s bold decision to overhaul the lineup at Stamford Bridge produced a 3‑1 triumph that Anderson described as a massive confidence boost. He credits the manager’s framework and freedom, saying the whole group bought into the new approach.

Anderson’s club form has dovetailed with his first senior call‑up for England, earned after a breakthrough under Thomas Tuchel last August. The 23‑year‑old stresses he still has room to grow, noting his energy and box‑to‑box work as assets. With Forest set to finish the season on a high, Anderson now aims to cement his place in the national squad.
