THE STRUGGLE IS REAL

Dyche wants 'truth not noise' but admits Forest face tough battle

- BY SARAH CLAPSON

AS he picked the bones out of a fourth straight defeat for Nottingham Forest, Sean Dyche was keen to set out a few “truths”.

With West Ham next up night - a team in the drop zone just four points and one place below Forest - now is a good time for truths, not to mention reality.

Asked about his team's “worrying” position in the Premier League table, Dyche pointed to how Forest had climbed out of the relegation zone on his watch and how their goalscoring stats had improved.

“What changes the story is when you put a run together like we have,” Dyche said.
