Forest mark Clough’s anniversary with victory

Forest win at Wolves which also featured goals from ufabet https://ufabet999.app Chris Wood and Taiwo Awoniyi and a terrific goalkeeping display by Matz Sels. Came on the 50th anniversary of Brian Clough’s appointment at the club.

The legendary manager turned Forest from a second division side into English champions in three years and follow.

That with successive European Cup triumphs in 1979 and 1980.

Nuno said: “It means a lot for us because Brian Clough is a legend of the club. You can see it all over Nottingham, in our stadium and in our training ground, references to Brian Clough. That can only inspire us.

“But we have to keep on going. Our happiness is based on how the players are working together; this is what makes us really proud and happy.”

It was only fitting Nuno recognised the anniversary. Two Forest managers who could not be more different in their personalities but, while he has a long way to go, Nuno could soon be talked about in a similar breath as Clough if he returns Forest to Europe’s top table.

Champions League ‘would be absolutely incredible’

Forest fans are now daring to dream about a return to Europe for the first time since the 1995-96 season, with Champions League qualification now a realistic possibility.

They are five points above fifth-placed Newcastle, six ahead of Manchester City.

“It would be absolutely incredible,” said midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, who scored Forest’s opener against his former club. “There will be a few fans who might be able to experience it twice. To be able to give them that opportunity again is what we really want to do as a club.
