February 09, 2026 Sean Dyche must beat Wolves or be sacked by Nottingham Forest?
Nottingham Forest had been in good form but were beaten 3-1 in horrible fashion by relegation rivals Leeds United on Friday night to leave them three points above the Premier League relegation zone.
Since then reports by the BBC and talkSPORT have said manager Sean Dyche is under increasing pressure with West Ham resurgent below Forest. Plenty of fans want Dyche sacked, but victory over rock bottom Wolves would make it 11 points from six games.
Matt Davies is joined by Michael Temple, Pete Blackburn and former Reds defender Kelvin Wilson to discuss the current situation and deflect on the defeat at Elland Road. #nffc #nottinghamforest
