Nottingham Forest – This season’s ‘momentum’ team

Every season one team comes from nowhere to mount a serious promotion challenge.  Will that tag fall on Nottingham Forest this season?

Forest promised so much for this season after a summer of investment from the Al-Hasawi family.  Manager Sean O’Driscoll assembled a squad that on paper many had down a certainties to be in the promotion shake up come May.

After an indifferent first half of the season which had Forest languishing in mid table, O’Driscoll was sacked on Boxing Day after an excellent 4-2 home win over Leeds United.  The Forest owners turned to former manager Billy Davies in an attempt to realise their talented squads potential.

Since his return to the city ground, Davies has masterminded wins in each of their last five games which has left Forest sat in 6th place in the Championship with just 9 games remaining.

Last season, eventual champions Reading were relegation candidates after the first two months of the season but were to go and a mammoth winning run on their road to the Premier League.  We have seen it season after season that one club comes from absolutely nowhere, timing their run to the promotion places to perfection, and more often than not, will find themselves playing Premier League football at the start of the next season.
