Vitor Pereira sends rare message to fans
The former Wolves boss has issued a rallying cry to the fans ahead of tonight’s contest against Aston Villa.
He’s not renowned for posting much on social media, but he’s taken to Instagram to send a message to the Forest fans ahead of this one.
Pereira posted a three-word message that said: “Let’s go, Reds”, with fans getting excited and up for the match following his post.
Forest can relax and play without any real fear tonight and must showcase the goalscoring form that has served them so well in recent weeks.
Is this the team to give us a first leg advantage in the Europa League against Aston Villa?
The start of Forest’s recent good form came in the Europa League, and during the eight-match unbeaten run, the Reds did claim a 1-1 draw with Villa on home soil.
Tonight will be a completely different match, and the challenge for the Reds is to attack from the off and simply show how far they’ve come under Pereira.
