What a night in Istanbul! Nottingham Forest didn't just survive the "Pressure Cooker"; they absolutely dismantled Fenerbahçe 0-3 in one of the most clinical European performances in the club’s history. Wolfie is here to dissect a sensational away win that puts the Reds on the brink of the Europa League last 16. From Murillo’s stunning 25-yard opener to the clinical partnership of Igor Jesus and Morgan Gibbs-White, it was a night where everything clicked. We break down the key moments, the tactical shifts, and that incredible "Wall of Noise" from the 1,200 travelling Forest fans who out-sang the home crowd at the Şükrü Saracoğlu!

The "Vítor Pereira Effect" was immediate and undeniable. In just his first match, Pereira transformed a side that had struggled for goals into a technical, possession-based machine that produced an incredible 2.86 xG. By moving away from "Dyche-ball" and encouraging the players to "express themselves," Pereira unlocked a new-look Forest that looked comfortable under pressure and ruthless in transition. We analyse how his intimate knowledge of his former club allowed Forest to exploit Fenerbahçe’s defensive gaps, especially with the return of a fit-again Murillo, who proved he is the heartbeat of this new system.

With three away goals in the bag, the tie is all but guaranteed—but as Pereira warned in his post-match presser, the job is only half done. We look ahead to the second leg at the City Ground and discuss what this result does for our confidence heading into a massive Premier League clash with Liverpool this Sunday.

Wolfie looks at the expected line-up for Forest with new Head Coach Vitor Pereira in charge!

The Vítor Pereira era begins with a script only football could write. As our fourth manager this season, Pereira’s first task is returning to face his former club, Fenerbahçe, in the "Istanbul Pressure Cooker." Wolfie explores whether Pereira’s intimate knowledge of the Turkish giants can help us overcome a squad now featuring N'Golo Kanté and Matteo Guendouzi. It’s a massive Europa League test—will his history in Istanbul give us the edge we need?

The main talking point is Murillo’s fitness. After a calf injury kept him out recently, he's in a race against time to start. If fit, expect Pereira to instantly switch to a technical back three, using Murillo’s distribution to bypass the Turkish press. We analyse how this 3-4-2-1 shift differs from the Dyche era and whether targeting their left flank—weakened by the injury to Archie Brown—is our best route to a result.

Can Pereira silence the fans who saw him sacked twice, or will the hostile atmosphere overwhelm the Reds? We look at the threat of the clinical Anderson Talisca and whether our midfield can survive without the "dark arts" of Ryan Yates if Pereira opts for a more technical lineup. What are your score predictions for the first leg? Can we bring a lead back to the City Ground? Let us know in the comments!

Wolfie deep dives into Vitor Pereira and the tactical system he prefers to play!

With Vítor Pereira confirmed as our fourth manager this season, we’re moving away from "Dyche-ball" toward a more sophisticated, possession-based philosophy. Wolfie breaks down Pereira’s signature 3-4-2-1 system and the "box midfield" that transformed Wolves' defense last year. We explore his "Tactical GPS" approach—making the pitch small when defending and expansive when attacking—to see how he’ll attempt to stabilize a chaotic Forest campaign.

The big question is: who fits the new mould? Pereira loves ball-playing defenders, meaning Murillo could become the centrepiece of this system, using his elite distribution to start attacks. However, his technical demands might spell trouble for "old-school" grinders like Ryan Yates. We analyse whether our current engine room can handle a "box" structure or if Pereira will prioritize creative players who can operate in tight pockets behind the striker.

As we head into a massive Europa League clash with Fenerbahçe, there is zero room for error. Pereira must implement his blueprint instantly to pull us away from the drop zone. Is a modern, tactical shift exactly what we need, or have we sacrificed the "English steel" required for a survival scrap? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—is the Pereira Box the answer, or a recipe for disaster?

It’s official, Reds. Nottingham Forest have today confirmed the appointment of Vítor Pereira as our new head coach, making him the fourth permanent manager to lead the club this season. Following the late-night sacking of Sean Dyche after the Wolves stalemate, Evangelos Marinakis has wasted no time in bringing in a man he knows well from their successful days at Olympiacos. The club statement released this afternoon confirms that the 57-year-old Portuguese coach has put pen to paper on an 18-month contract, keeping him at the City Ground until the summer of 2027. He brings with him a full backroom team, including long-term assistants Filipe Almeida and Luis Silva, as we look to find some desperate stability in this chaotic campaign.

Wolfie is here to break down the club statement and what this 18-month deal actually tells us about the board's long-term (or short-term) vision. Is an 18-month contract a sign of confidence, or is it a "survival-first" safety net? With Forest currently sitting just three points above the drop zone and a massive Europa League trip to Pereira’s former club, Fenerbahçe, just days away, there is no time for a honeymoon period. We’re looking at Pereira’s track record—from his back-to-back titles at Porto to his "Houdini" act with Wolves last season—to see if he’s truly the man to transform our attacking talent. How are we feeling about the official word, Reds? Does an 18-month deal feel right to you, or are we already looking at manager number four? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
