Stan Collymore shares ironic Sean Dyche information, predicts Everton clash v Nottingham Forest
Stan Collymore believes the Everton clash on Sunday against Nottingham Forest will have extra significance to Sean Dyche because he is a Forest fan.
Speaking in the Sunday People (page 62, 5 March), Collymore predicted that Forest will come out on top at the City Ground against Everton in a thumping 2-0 win.
Dyche will be looking to catapult Everton out of the relegation zone after rivals Bournemouth, West Ham United and Leeds suffered defeats on Saturday (4 March).
“Nottingham Forest 2-0 Everton,” predicted Collymore in his crystal ball for the Sunday People. (page 62, 5 March)
“Forest are very different at home from the team who waved the white flag at West Ham, and will heap more pressure on Everton under Sean Dyche, who ironically is a Forest fan.”
Crucial hours.
It’s crucial hours ahead for Everton and Dyche with nothing more than three points needed against Forest in the Sunday afternoon Premier League clash.
Results have been up and down so far for the new manager, however, back-to-back losses have sunk the Toffees into the dreaded drop zone.
Evidently, Everton needs to start scoring some goals if they stand any chance at securing Premier League survival and their decision to not invest in a new forward is starting to haunt them.
Evertonians will be hoping that Dyche has a few tricks up his sleeve in the coming months to combat this problem but his efforts so far haven’t come up trumps.
With tough Premier League outings against Brentford, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United next three points today would go a long way for Everton.
It won’t be easy at the raucous City Ground, nevertheless, the Blues must look to their performances against Arsenal and Leeds United a few weeks back for some added confidence.
