Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest preview
There was relief at the City Ground on Thursday as new Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche saw the end of the team’s ten-match winless run in his first game at the helm, but it would be easy to get carried away before a trip the Bournemouth.
Penalties from Morgan Gibbs-White and Igor Jesus helped the Tricky Trees see off Portuguese league leaders Porto and while their opponents headed Trentside with an impressive early-season record, a clash with the Cherries represents a step up.
Andoni Iraola’s team will fancy their chances of following Forest into Europe this season and even their sole defeat against Liverpool on the opening night was unfortunate as they had sparked a fine comeback in the 4-2 defeat at Anfield.
While a lot of attention fell upon Forest’s defending under Dyche’s predecessor Ange Postecoglou, they have not been taking their chances.
Striker Chris Wood, who scored 20 league goals last season, has not netted in a domestic game since the opening day and the Cherries, led by the inspired Antoine Semenyo, who has put in some storming midfield performances, look to have superior firepower.
