October 27, 2025 Time for players to step up at Nottingham Forest as relegation battle on?
Nottingham Forest were beaten 2-0 at Bournemouth in Sean Dyche's first Premier League game in charge. It was a one sided affair and left Forest rooted in the relegation zone after nine games.
Now Forest have a huge week ahead before hosting Manchester United next Saturday. Dyche has promised there will be plenty of work on the training ground. Do the players now have to step up without the shield of blaming Ange Postecoglou's tactics? Does Dyche have the responsibility to get more from them? Matt Davies is joined by Michael Temple and Reds legend Garry Birtles. #nffc #nottinghamforest
