Nottingham Forest is currently facing a precarious situation, undergoing a managerial change with Nuno Espirito Santo at the helm. Despite an initial boost after the change, the journey hasn’t been smooth for Santo.
In his debut match, a peculiar home game against Bournemouth featured a controversial straight red card for Willy Boly. Although they secured a victory at Newcastle and triumphed over Manchester United, a recent FA Cup match against Bristol City revealed squad challenges, with numerous players unavailable due to various reasons, leading to a narrow win on penalties.
While Nottingham Forest is in a competitive position, it’s apparent that they’ve grappled with squad depth issues. The expectation is that as more players return, the team will secure better results. Despite the challenges, they possess notable talent and goal-scorers, with standout performances from Morgan Gibbs-White, the pace of Anthony Elanga when available, and positive contributions from Callum Hudson-Odoi. The potential return of Taiwo Awoniyi, if he can regain fitness swiftly, is anticipated to make a significant impact.
The situation is expected to stabilize now that the transfer window has closed, and more players are returning. Additionally, having an experienced manager in charge adds to the optimism for Nottingham Forest’s future performance.
