When Sean Dyche was nominated for the January manager of the month award just seven days ago, he presumably did not expect to be out of a job two games later. That nomination came on the back of league wins over Brentford and struggling West Ham United, defeat by third-placed Aston Villa and a point at home to leaders Arsenal. In fact, in a league table based on the 18 matches since Dyche took charge on 21 October, they sit 12th. The Englishman departs the City Ground having won six of those games, collecting more league points - 22 - in the same number of games than Forest's two previous managers combined. By the same measure, Dyche sits a respectable third out of Forest's eight permanent Premier League managers.
