Forest's winless run only an issue if it continues beyond Saturday
- Published
Going into Ange Postecoglou's first home game against Sunderland on Saturday without a win is unfortunate but it should be not an issue - yet.
Postecoglou has told his players to ensure their heads do not drop, despite his four-game winless start, because he can see the progress they have made in a short period of time.
That there is disappointment over a point at Real Betis - last season's Conference League runners-up - shows how far Forest have come in such a short space of time.
Forest were five minutes - plus added time - away from winning their first European game in 29 years.
That is the message Postecoglou is likely to send when he meets the media later.
The winless run only becomes an issue if it continues. Forest will be expected to beat Sunderland - regardless of the Black Cats' good start.
They aspire to be higher and returning to Europe next season so games like Saturday's need to end in victory.
Come back to this page later on Friday for all the key lines from Postecoglou.
