"The table does not lie and Nottingham Forest were proudly fifth in the Premier League on Sunday night. Admittedly, the reality is they sit 16th but since Sean Dyche took over as manager only four teams have bettered their points tally, with a breezy win against Tottenham a further sign of revolution in action. Considering the shambolic nature of the season before Dyche was appointed on 21 October, the fact Forest find themselves out of the relegation zone is impressive enough."
"Only Aston Villa, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea have accumulated more points since Dyche moved into the City Ground dugout. Forest's 13 points from eight games has created distance to the relegation zone, not removing the threat but allowing everyone to look up rather than down. Dyche is winning on average 1.625 points a game, which would lead to almost 62 across an entire campaign. Brighton finished eighth last season with 61."
Nottingham Forest sit 16th in the Premier League but have improved markedly since Sean Dyche's appointment on 21 October. Only Aston Villa, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea have gathered more points than Forest in that period. Forest have taken 13 points from eight games under Dyche, creating distance from the relegation zone and allowing focus upward rather than downward. Dyche averages 1.625 points per game, projecting to almost 62 points over a season. The squad had been poorly positioned despite summer investment meant to build on a seventh-place finish. Dyche has focused on rebuilding morale and stabilising a confused style.
