Chris Sutton believes that Sean Dyche is a smart choice for Nottingham Forest, but suggests that Ange Postecoglou may be better off without the City Ground following the treatment he received from fans. Dyche was appointed as Postecoglou’s replacement after the Australian failed to secure a single win in his eight games in charge.
Fans had doubts about Postecoglou from the start, especially after he replaced Nuno Espirito Santo early in the season. Dyche has now taken over and led the team to a victory over FC Porto in the Europa League, but faces a tough challenge in his first Premier League match against Bournemouth.
Sutton predicts a 1-0 defeat for Forest, stating that Dyche is more of a Santo type manager than Postecoglou. However, with Forest’s goal to stay in the Premier League, Dyche has already proven he can achieve that. Despite the tough start, Sutton believes that Bournemouth will be a formidable opponent.
