Ange Postecoglou is under pressure at Nottingham Forest just weeks after taking over from Nuno Espirito Santo. His reliance on the struggling Chris Wood isn’t helping his cause, especially after a lackluster performance in a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United.
Wood, a veteran striker who was instrumental in Forest’s European qualification last season, hasn’t scored since the opening game of the season. There are doubts about his fit in Postecoglou’s system, and the manager is facing calls to make a change.
With Wood’s form dipping, Postecoglou may need to turn to Igor Jesus as the new starting striker. The Brazilian has shown promise since joining the team and impressed in recent Europa League matches. Dropping Wood in favor of Jesus could bring a much-needed spark to Forest’s attack.
As rumors swirl about Wood’s potential departure to West Ham, Postecoglou must make a decision to secure his own future at Forest. Ignoring the signs of Wood’s decline could be a costly mistake, especially with tough matches against Chelsea and FC Porto approaching.
Postecoglou has a crucial period during the international break to make changes and turn things around for Forest. If he sticks with Wood and the team continues to struggle, his job could be on the line. It’s time for Postecoglou to make a bold move and prioritize the future success of the team.
