NOTTINGHAM FOREST have reverted to a tried and tested formula as they look to move forward under Sean Dyche.

On the same weekend as the clocks go back, so have the Reds - to a time when they were notching up impressive results and playing with smiles on faces.

That is what they want to get back to, this time under Dyche (below).

After the attacking style of Ange Postecoglou failed to yield a single victory during his eight games in charge, the Australian's successor has gone back to basics.

Dyche has tapped into what made Forest so successful under Nuno Espirito Santo last season, according to summer signing Dan Ndoye.

The switch worked to good effect on Thursday night as the new head coach made a perfect start to his reign by seeing off Porto in the Europa League.
