Oliver Glasner is desperately seeking a big three points when his team travel to Ipswich Town on Friday Night Football.
Forest have lost three successive games in the Premier League, with defeats coming at the hands of Coventry, Crystal Palace and Arsenal.
Forest are second bottom of the Premier League with five points from seven games, and that simply won’t do for Evangelos Marinakis, who is desperate to see the club kick on.
Now, ahead of the trip to Portman Road, Forest have a big chance to go up the Premier League table, with Glasner helping his players this week in training.

It’s a pretty quick turnaround this week when it comes to Forest taking on Ipswich in the aftermath of the Arsenal debacle.
Glasner called on the atmosphere to be on point against Arsenal, and the fans brought the noise, even if a win couldn’t be secured against the champions.
The Forest head coach has now admitted that he showed the fans and their brilliance on video to his players this week ahead of a tough game with Ipswich.
He told Nottinghamshire Live: “I didn’t just feel it, I could see it – and we also showed it to the players today – how we had a fantastic atmosphere within the team and here at the City Ground (on Sunday). For me, it feels like it was a huge game.
“We talked about the home games and the home form, but there was a big belief – in the team and in the stands – until the final whistle that we could get the equaliser. If things worked, the players supported each other and gave high-fives. Even when things did not work, there was positive support and positive vibes within the team. I felt it for the first time that we had this kind of atmosphere and this kind of spirit.”
Glasner’s next step is to give the Forest supporters something to shout about. It’s also vital that the players take a look at themselves and show determination to put things right going forward.
Forest are still in with a chance of doing well this season. However, the Reds have to get things right if they’re to kick on and arrest this alarming slump of form in the early stages of the campaign.
