Forest are in trouble.
Two time former European Cup winner Nottingham Forest are in danger of dropping down a division, and that too in a season that held potential promotion in store. Under Steve McClaren, Forest's decline has been both unexpected and traumatic, with their latest demolition at Burnley equal parts abject and miserable.
After their 5-1 defeat to Burnley on Tuesday, Forest are now 20th, just three points off the bottom. They have lost four of their last five games, won just two matches overall and have a paltry eight points from nine games. McClaren is under even more pressure to turn things around. With Martin O'Neill available, chairman Nigel Doughty could well replace the former England manager with the man he replaced.
