Tom collomosse has done a piece behind a paywall on how vitor changed the spirit at the club when he came in dunno if anyone has a sub to see what it says in full though?

Decent article.......here is a snippet...........



.......................A squad not a team

It is easy to pinpoint the moment Dyche lost the players. It was January 9 and Forest had just lost on penalties at Wrexham in the FA Cup third round, after Dyche rotated heavily.

Dyche promptly rubbished the starters after the match and at a stroke, alienated his squad. Those who had played felt unfairly targeted, while those who had been rested – including influential voices like Gibbs-White – felt angry on their behalf. Dyche lasted only 34 more days and it is no wonder Pereira has tried a different approach.

Despite his relaxed manner, Pereira is a workaholic. Alongside his trusted lieutenant Miguel, Pereira was working until 3am in those early days, analysing every member of the squad – both their displays for Forest and with former clubs. 

They evaluated their technical and tactical strengths and noticed that some of these players’ physical data at Forest did not match what they had produced at other clubs. The next task was to reverse the trend.

Players like McAtee, Bakwa, Jair Cunha and Taiw.......................
