Our next news conference? Nottingham Forest.

Nottingham Forest find themselves 17th in the Premier League, hovering just above the relegation zone after 21 matches. Sean Dyche’s side have won six, drawn three and lost 12, scoring 21 goals and conceding 34.

Forest currently sit seven points clear of 18th-placed West Ham, who remain deep in trouble, but the gap offers only limited comfort with the bottom half tightly packed and form proving hard to sustain.

With performances fluctuating and confidence fragile, Forest’s priority remains finding consistency, particularly at home, as the pressure gradually increases heading into the second half of the campaign.
