Yet another winnable game slips by, feeling like we could and should have taken full points, but once again letting it slip whilst letting another set piece in. Groundhog day.
There's no discernible improvement in our games, and actually we seem to be losing those razor sharp fast breaks that were our identity before.
Nuno's stats aren't very different to Coopers. He's got a fractionally better win rate and points per game.
Nottingham Forest
Sacked: Steve Cooper (19/12)
PL Matches: 17
% Win Rate & PPG: 18% WR, 0.82 PPG
League Position: 17th - 14 points
Hired: Nuno Espirito Santo (20/12)
PL Matches: 12
% Win Rate & PPG: 25% WR, 0.91 PPG
League Position: 17th - 25 points
But this masks more recent performances. 6 of Nuno's points came in his first two games. Since beating Man U at home, we've got one win and only five points. We've played 9 in the PL and 5 in the cup. Won one (without added time&penos), and taken 5 points. His 2024 stats are;
Win rate: 11%
Points per game: 0.55
That's truly dreadful. For comparison, it's worse than Wilder at Sheffield United. It's absolutely, categorically numbers that point to relegation.
Add in the fact that he's a soulless, beige shell of a person with no personality or likeability in his interviews and he's not winning many friends on the terraces.
No prizes for guessing which side of the fence I'm sitting. If he isn't gone before the season ends he'll be gone in the summer, regardless of the division we find ourselves in.
