Latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive as Alan Shearer shares his verdict on the struggles of the Reds as they hover above the relegation zone
Given Nottingham Forest’s dismal recent performance, Alan Shearer has acknowledged that “it’s a worrying time” for the team.
With a 2-0 victory over West Ham on February 17 being their lone league win of the season, Nuno Espirito Santo’s team has only triumphed in one of their last nine Premier League games. With one more game played than Luton Town in 18th position, Forest is just three points above the relegation zone following their 1-0 loss at Brighton on Sunday.
The Reds, who will file an appeal, are also worried about a possible point deduction after their accusation of violating the league’s Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR).Following an independent commission’s consideration of their case last week, Forest is awaiting a decision.
Shearer, a legend of Newcastle United, has also voiced his thoughts on what he believes is wrong at the City Ground. He thinks Trentside is going through a troubling moment as a result of the team’s subpar on-field performances and lack of confidence.
Are they not stuck in a rut? If you’re a fan of Forest, you should be quite concerned about what’s happening there. The lack of confidence and the performances. They are going through a difficult moment,” he said to the podcast The Rest is Football.
Over the next few weeks, Forest’s relegation struggle will see them play a number of crucial games. After the international break, the Reds play Crystal Palace and Fulham. They go to Luton on Saturday (kickoff at 3pm).
Nuno stated, “I cannot question the workrate and the players’ commitment,” following Sunday’s loss at the Amex. Since we are in need, they all gave it their all. And at times like these, you fight for what you need, and that’s what we’re doing right now. We intend to engage in combat, acting as though we are trying.
