City Ground, Nottingham, England – E be like say pressure don begin dey jor jor for Ange Postecoglou as e just short like one month for him new job as Nottingham Forest head coach. No be small wahala at all! Since wey dem appoint am replace Nuno Espirito Santo on September 9, e no don fit win any of him first six matches. Omo, this one mean say something serious dey happen, and if e no change things fast, e fit pack him bag quick.
Owner of the club, Evangelos Marinakis, don already dey reason to remove Postecoglou if wetin dey happen no change. Na so football be, no time for soft heart (Chai! E be like say he no get time to waste). The team suppose travel go face Newcastle this Sunday – live for Sky Sports – and na him performance for that match go really tell wetin go happen next.
Postecoglou dey under serious pressure, and na because of him four defeats wey he don get since him enter. During one recent match, some fans even join chorus dey chant say, ‘You dey go sack for morning!’ during their match against Midtjylland. Hmmm, fans don turn chorus group o! (It fit be joke if no be serious matter). If Newcastle match no better, just know say make dem get ready to change coach like wetin we dey do for our local football.
As we dey talk now, Nottingham Forest dey find themselves sit down for 17th position for the Premier League table after dem lose four games and draw two under Postecoglou. (E no too sweet for dem area like that). If dem no fit turn am around this weekend, na him go carry the title of the first permanent coach for the club wey no fit win any of him first four league games since 1960. Na serious wahala be that!
Postecoglou sabi say e no fit dey worry about wetin go happen next week, but now na him job dey for line. Him talk say, “I dey focus on how to make the team play better.” E no wan hear anything about the pressure wey dey surround am because that one no go help him. But, we no go lie, all eyes dey on am as him dey prepare for the journey to Newcastle.
As he don dey look to prepare the team, some fans dey feel say him must change strategy quick quick. The supporters dey remember how Nuno sabi dey win match with defensive tactics and now wetin Postecoglou wan bring be different philosophy. E go need time for the players to fit understand as he wan run things. E sure say good play go come, but time no dey wait for coach. E fit carry chop, so wetin we go see this Sunday?
Him previous record no too dey shine either. Since him last seven matches with Tottenham before this new change, e miss all of them! E remain winless in ten games straight coming into this Newcastle match. (Omo, na serious drought for win wey this man dey face). If Nottingham Forest no fit turn around this bad vibe quickly, e fit soon begin dey shake head for the boardroom wey don dey vex since him appointment.
