Talks with owner Evangelos Marinakis are expected during the international break, with reports indicating his position could be reviewed if performances do not improve.

Overview

  • Newcastle beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 at St James’ Park, with Bruno Guimarães scoring from distance and Nick Woltemade converting a late penalty after Elliot Anderson fouled Guimarães.
  • Forest sit 17th in the Premier League, one point above the relegation zone, and Postecoglou is the first Forest boss in over a century to start with seven games without a win.
  • Postecoglou said he loves a fight and insists he can turn results around, pointing to the international break as vital time to work with players.
  • The head coach said he expects to meet Marinakis to discuss the club’s direction, and Sky Sports reports the owner will not hesitate to make a change if results do not quickly improve.
  • Home and away crowds have taunted Postecoglou with calls for his sacking, and Forest have conceded more than two goals per game on average under his seven-match start across competitions.
