'Up to owner to make change' - Dyche under major scrutiny

Nottingham Forest head coach Sean Dyche's position is under major scrutiny following the goalless draw at home to Wolves.

BBC Sport reported on Friday night that Dyche was under increasing pressure at the City Ground following the team's meek performance in the 3-1 loss at Leeds.

Wednesday's goalless draw against bottom club Wolves has only served to intensify the internal scrutiny on Dyche's job.

Sections of the fanbase are starting to turn, a factor characterised by the boos from home supporters following the Wolves shutout.

Similarly, there is a feeling within the Forest hierarchy that Dyche's appointment has not had the impact they had hoped.

"The owner has been fair to me, without a shadow of a doubt," Dyche said.

"If anyone chooses to change in football now, that's their decision. We've all seen it."

Dyche was appointed Forest manager on 21 October but the club remain in relegation danger, just three points separating them from West Ham who occupy the final spot in the bottom three.

Sources are indicating to BBC Sport that Dyche is now under significant pressure amid concerns over the team's performance.

Forest do not have a fixture until they face Fenerbahce in the Europa League play-off on Thursday, 19 February.

That leaves Forest with ample time to identify and appoint a new head coach should they decide to part with the 54-year-old.

Should Dyche depart and a permanent replacement is appointed, it would mark the first time a Premier League team has had four permanent managers in a season.

Forest started the campaign with Nuno Espirito Santo in charge before he was sacked at the start of September and replaced by Ange Postecoglou.
