Nottingham Forest<\/a> finally have some clarity. <\/p>\n

On a fourth manager of the season they may have found the right formula just in time. <\/p>\n

Sunday’s 3-0 win at Tottenham<\/a>, so vital in the relegation battle, was their first in the Premier League under Vitor Pereira.<\/p>\n

It was also Pereira’s first win in the top flight in 11 months, having left Wolves<\/a> in November winless this season. <\/p>\n

The Portuguese has brought a sense of harmony to the City Ground since February after the players failed to gel with Sean Dyche.<\/p>\n

The former Forest trainee lasted 144 days with the squad struggling to adapt to his methods and feeling there was too much focus on physicality and running over tactics. <\/p>\n

The squad are more comfortable under Pereira and feel there is a clearer picture while they also believe, tactically, he looks to get the best out of them. <\/p>\n

That comes after Nuno Espirito Santo, Ange Postecoglou and Dyche kept the door revolving at the club this season. <\/p>\n

Pereira’s time at Wolves<\/a> ended in huge disappointment as the season fell apart quickly following mistakes in the transfer market and losing Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri but he has a track record of making quick impacts.<\/p>\n

That has happened at Forest, even if it took five games for a Premier League victory. Forest beat Fenerbahce and Midtjylland to reach the Europa League quarter-finals and deserved more from a defeat by Liverpool<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The 2-2 draw at Manchester City<\/a> at the start of the month showed Forest’s steel for the fight. <\/p>\n

They are still just three points clear of the relegation zone and still not safe but there is a sense, especially with Tottenham<\/a>‘s downward momentum, Pereira can take Forest to safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nottingham Forest finally have some clarity.
