adminSean Dyche has outlined three key traits he believes Nottingham Forest must adopt to secure their Premier League survival: strength, fitness, and organisation.
The former Forest manager, who departed the club in February after a brief spell in charge, shared his thoughts on their survival chances following a turbulent season. Dyche was the third of four managers to take charge at the City Ground this campaign. He replaced Ange Postecoglou and was later succeeded by Vitor Pereira — noting that he oversaw 22 of the club’s 32 points during his tenure.
Under Pereira, Forest have won three of nine matches, including just one victory in five league games. As a result, they remain in a precarious position, sitting just two places and three points above the relegation zone.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Dyche stressed the importance of building a solid foundation rather than relying purely on talent.
“For me, it’s about being strong, fit, and organised — that’s what I tried to instil at Forest,” he said. “It’s not just about ability. You have to look at the structure of the team, the energy levels, the work rate, and the overall output.
“After years in the game, I know that if you don’t get those basics right, staying in the Premier League becomes incredibly difficult. You need that framework in place — strong, fit, and organised.”
