We asked for your views on what you have made of Vitor Pereira’s start as Forest boss.
Here are some of your comments:
Kris: Pereira feels like the right fit, after the mixed tenures of Ange and Dyche. Both of the latter seemed keen to reflect on their past successes when faced with adversity, and neither convinced. Pereira does more than talk the talk though. There has been more identity, structure and purpose to our play since he came in, and the players are visibly lifted. The majority of fans are behind him, the players too, so it can only get better from here…can’t it? Take nothing for granted at Forest and enjoy the ride.
Edward: To have any chance of staying up a club has to have momentum. There can’t be momentum without unity. 2022-23 was all about on field chaos until Cooper finally gelled the team that April. 2025-26 is all about off field chaos, but could the last two performances hint at a similar positive outcome for Pereira?
Grahame: Vitor has got the team playing again as one. Giving the players confidence has been the key. They look like the team from last season, long may it last.
John: Pereira seems to have recognised the style that suits the players and they seem to be responding. Will it be enough? I certainly hope so but Forest fans have learned not to underestimate what’s happening behind the scenes so let’s hope the powers that be leave Pereira and the squad to get on with it and we’ll be alright. Some of the squad might even want to stay.
Tony: Finally the players seem like they are gelling and become the team that ‘on paper’ says they should be. The main task now is keep it going, stay up and stay together.
