Nottingham Forest have become one of the teams struggling to survive in the English Premier League this season. Due to unsatisfactory results, the management recently parted ways with head coach Sean Dyche. Now, new details have emerged about what happened "inside" the problem.
As it turned out, the main breaking point in the team is the players' loss of trust in the coach. In a team that has lost trust, both the fighting spirit and the mood to "die" for each other on the field quickly decrease. And this situation was noticeably visible in the "Forest" players.
According to Daily Mail Sport, when Dyche first arrived, the players did not take kindly to his straightforward, simple and disciplined style of play. Because sometimes a team needs just such an “order”: who should stand where, how to return, how to act when the ball is not there - everything is clear.
But when the results began to decline, the natural question arose: “where is the next step?” That is, do you have a new idea, a new solution, a new “Plan B” when your opponents have read you? According to the source, this is precisely where the players’ doubts grew.
The most frequently mentioned aspect is the content of the training sessions. Dyche mainly focused on running, physical training and hard work, but there are rumors that the details of the game, tactical preparation, and special solutions against the opponent were not worked out enough. In short, it's like "there is gas, but no navigator": the team runs, fights, but where and for what purpose - it is not always clear.
It is noted that Dyche took over the "foresters" in October 2025, but by February 2026 he had not been able to make a significant turn. For this reason, the team, which was expected to fight for the top places, is now forced to fight to stay in the Premier League.
Now Nottingham Forest has two tasks: the first is to restore confidence in the dressing room, and the second is to return a clear idea to the game on the field. Because in the relegation zone, "simple movement" is lacking - every round is a final, every decision is a matter of fate. And the fans want one thing: for the team not to lose themselves, but to show real character in the remaining games.
