Nottingham Forest’s European Dream Under Threat as Pundit Delivers Harsh Verdict
Former Reds striker Teddy Sheringham has poured cold water on Nottingham Forest’s surprise push for European football. Sheringham believes that Forest’s current position in the Premier League table is unsustainable and that they will eventually drop out of the top four.
Forest have defied expectations this season, sitting fifth in the table after 11 matches. However, Sheringham is not convinced that they have the strength in depth to maintain their challenge for a Champions League spot.
“A three-game run could get you in there away from other teams. Three games later it’ll be someone else and someone else,” Sheringham said. “Aston Villa, Tottenham, Chelsea, they’re all vying for that other position. Newcastle will be quite good and I can see them having a real go at it.”
“Nottingham Forest are in there at the moment but I can’t see them lasting that long. Aston Villa… they’re a more organised, structured and powerful team than anyone else.”
Sheringham’s comments will come as a blow to Forest fans, who have been dreaming of a return to European football. However, the former Reds striker’s assessment is a stark reminder of the challenges that Forest face in maintaining their current form.
Forest’s next few games will be crucial in determining their chances of securing a top-four finish. They face Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City in their next three matches, and will need to pick up points from these games if they are to stay in contention.
Despite Sheringham’s pessimistic assessment, Forest fans remain optimistic about their team’s chances. They will be hoping that their team can prove Sheringham wrong and secure a top-four finish this season.
