    We asked you to rate Nottingham Forest's start to the season and tell us what Oliver Glasner should be focusing on during this extended international break.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Sean: It's been a fairly mediocre start to the season. Could have and probably should have beaten Leeds but didn't, same with Tottenham, a creditable draw with Liverpool and a win against 10-man Aston Villa with most of their team now at Chelsea, then that embarrassment of a performance against Coventry City.

    Mark: Highly disappointing season so far with a dash of positive surprises. Problem seems to be with the players, who apparently don't have the desire to get to the next level.

    Andy: Nothing much to inspire me as of yet, but it's early days. We showed character in the Villa game, but then showed poor defending against Coventry. I think Glasner will get us to mid-table and bring out the best in Delap, Jesus and, hopefully, Ndoye. Don't think Woods will get a look-in.

    Liam: Can occasionally see the system Glasner is trying to implement. When they get it right, it's good - but when it's wrong, it's not a pretty watch. Optimistic this will just take a few months, but a very average start.

    Al: Having supported Forest all my life and it's difficult to get to upset or carried away by five games. However, Saturday was one of the most lacklustre performances I've witnessed - and I include us fans in that. The famous atmosphere is gone. Do we wait for the team to give us something to cheer about? Or do we get behind them regardless?

  2. 'You would think Tuchel will spread the workload around'published at 10:47 BST

    Morgan Gibbs-White now has a "fantastic opportunity" to impress England boss Thomas Tuchel, having been called up late to the squad after other players pulled out, says BBC Radio Nottingham's Colin Fray.

    Speaking on the latest episode of the Shut Up And Show More Football podcast, Fray said: "This is the second time that he's been called up late and was left out of the original squad.

    "Tuchel saying we've just got too many number 10s doesn't explain why he's picking X, Y and Z over Gibbs-White. Whatever the reason, he's obviously had to force his way in by whichever means possible.

    "Now he's got this fabulous opportunity in an elongated break with four matches. You would think Tuchel will spread the workload around, especially at this stage of the season. I'm sure all the club managers are hoping that that's what happens."

  3. How do you feel about Forest's start to the season?published at 15:24 BST 24 September

    As we enter the season's first international break, we want to hear your thoughts on the opening five games in the Premier League.

    It has been a mixed start to life under Oliver Glasner for Nottingham Forest, with one win, two draws and two losses from his first five matches in charge.

    The optimism bought by the impressive win at Aston Villa has been somewhat dampened by Saturday's disappointing home defeat by promoted Coventry City.

    Glasner plays a back three and it might be taking some time for Forest's players to get used to the system, so it might be that they become a more fluent side as the season progresses.

    How do you rate Forest's start to the season and why? And what should Glasner be focusing on during the extended break?
