Nottingham Forest have seemingly secured Premier League safety, but have been handed a severe reality check ahead of their season finale
Chris Sutton has slapped Nottingham Forest with a quick reality check ahead of their season finale against Burnley, saying that Nuno Espirito Santo has done no better than predecessor Steve Cooper.
It is still mathematically possible to go down, though 18th-placed Luton Town would require a major 12-goal swing in their favour as they beat Fulham at Kenilworth, while Forest fall to already relegated Burnley at Turf Moor. The striker-turned-pundit offered sympathy for the Clarets as a 'well-run' club suffering relegation under 'bright young manager' Vincent Kompany, but wasn't so kind towards the team that will remain a Premier League outfit.
Ultimately, Nuno has turned around the fortunes of Forest in five months to ensure they remain among England's elite. He took charge with 20 fixtures remaining, winning five, drawing four and losing eleven with a points-per-game average of 0.95.
