### Postecoglou Brushes Off Pressure as Nottingham Forest Winless Streak Continues
Nottingham Forest head coach Ange Postecoglou has brushed off the growing pressure surrounding his position. The Australian took over from Nuno Espirito Santo at the City Ground but has yet to secure a win in his first six matches in charge.
Despite the club’s disappointing performances, including a recent 3-2 UEFA Europa League home defeat to Midtjylland, Postecoglou remains unfazed—even in the face of chants from some fans declaring, “You’re getting sacked in the morning.”

### Resilience: Pressure Doesn’t Affect Postecoglou’s Management Style
Speaking candidly, Postecoglou emphasized that pressure doesn’t influence his approach to management.
“It doesn’t enter my head,” he said. “My responsibility lies in making sure this football club progresses and gets to a position where it can challenge for things.”
He added, “If I start putting timelines on that or worrying about what is going to happen next week, then I am not performing the role I’ve been given.”

### Postecoglou Confident That Victory Is Within Reach
The Forest boss remained optimistic about his side’s chances of turning their form around.
“I just don’t think it is helpful to anyone to focus on the pressure,” he commented. “At the end of the day, I have to concentrate on the environment, the training, the way we play. As I said last night, I am still very, very strong in my belief that we are not too far away.”
Postecoglou also shared his perspective on dealing with uncertainty: “Put it this way—I knew I was getting sacked at Tottenham about three or four months before I did, but that didn’t stop me from winning something.”

### Nottingham Forest’s Struggles So Far
Forest’s start to the season has been troubling. The team has conceded 13 goals so far, averaging 2.17 goals against per game—surpassing only Manchester United and Burnley in goals conceded.
This marks the 35th time a top-flight manager has failed to win any of their first six matches in charge across all competitions.

### Focused on Winning Matches, Not Fans’ Approval
Despite the poor run of form, Postecoglou insists his focus remains solely on winning games rather than winning over supporters.
His post-match press conferences have been more philosophical than defensive. He acknowledged the ongoing questions about his future and potential discussions with club owner Evangelos Marinakis, despite having been in charge for just 24 days.

### Upcoming Fixtures Key to Postecoglou’s Future at Forest

Nottingham Forest’s next fixtures include:

– Home match against Chelsea
– Europa League clash with Porto
– Premier League games versus Bournemouth and Manchester United later this month
