Ex-Forest winger Paul Anderson on wingbacks, VAR and the City Ground

I think following the inconsistency of last season with regards to the change of managers, situations with players leaving, obviously losing one of your better players in Elliot Anderson, people could argue maybe haven't brought in the number we had expected however I feel like last season was the first time where you go we've got more of a settled squad now you've got the sort of the core block of players who you really want And then there's lots of change, obviously, Glasner coming in and then spending the money on De Lappe.

You're starting to go, right, OK, we're now that secure Premier League team and you've built it how you want it to look.

So I think all of that, I feel like it's going to take time and it's going to, like I say, it's going to take time to settle.

However, the two Leeds games, I was at the first one, watched the second one, relatively disappointing performances.

You're starting to go, right, you can see what they're trying to do, but it wasn't quite working.

And then I think you then go, right, OK, you've drawn against Liverpool with a positive performance, you've drawn against Spurs...

He said, as a Spurs fan, I'm just wondering what it felt like to actually see the ball go into the opposition goal, whether it was disallowed or not.

If you can't tell by looking at something first time, it's not clear and obvious, is it? And I get it.

But if you're looking at it three, four, five times at different ones and you're not really sure and...

If it was probably in the middle of the pitch and you go like that because someone's kicking the ball at your face, which it wasn't even really like that, you sort of protect yourself.

If you stand in the wall and you cover your private area and it hits you in your hand, it's not a handball because you're protecting something.
