Nottingham Forest coach Post Koglu said that the team needs to win at Burnley, not to eliminate doubts surrounding him, but to relieve the pressure on players.

The former Tottenham coach admitted that if he suffered a three-game losing streak in the early stage of his coaching, he did not care about the personal criticism he might face, but he knew the importance of the first victory to the team.

Aobo said: "Since I entered the Premier League, doubts have followed me. But this has never been related to me personally. Winning on the weekend is important, not to justify me, but because we have lost two Premier League games in a row. Every game is difficult, and we must not fall into a passive situation of eagerness to win. We need to make a breakthrough and move in the right direction. "

Speaking of continuous away games,Aobo said: "I knew the schedule was difficult, the key is to implement our tactical philosophy while striving for results. This challenge is exciting and is driving me, the coaching staff and the players to accelerate the integration."

Brazilian defender Murillo is in doubt about playing Burnley, and midfielder Nicholas Domingos, who was troubled by a knee injury, recovered positively. Obo revealed: "Murillo still needs to be observed. He has conducted personal training today, so we will give more time. The injury still feels painful, depending on whether he can bear it, and will decide at the last moment."

"Fortunately, the injury is not serious. If you miss tomorrow's game, you will definitely be able to return to practice in the middle of the week. Domingos is expected to return to practice next week, which is a major benefit for him and the team."
