The pressure is mounting on Ange Postecoglou as he takes his Nottingham Forest side to Newcastle on Sunday, still searching for his first win as manager. A run of three league games without a victory (D1 L2) has been compounded by a midweek Europa League defeat, leaving the club in a poor run of form.If Forest fail to win at St. James’ Park, Postecoglou will equal the worst-ever start for a permanent manager in the club’s history, a record dating back to 1960. They face a huge task to avoid that fate, however, as they have lost on eight of their last nine league visits to Tyneside.Nottingham Forest team newsAnge Postecoglou is contending with a significant defensive injury crisis, with Oleksandr Zinchenko, Ola Aina, and Murillo all ruled out. In addition, midfielder Douglas Luiz is also unavailable. This forces the manager to field a makeshift defence, with Nicolò Savona likely to continue at full-back. The attack will be led by Chris Wood.Matchday in Newcastle. pic.twitter.com/8F3XBXyCqE— Nottingham Forest (@NFFC) October 5, 2025However, the striker has struggled under the new manager, having failed to score with any of his nine shots in the three games since Postecoglou took charge.
