Description: Change still an all too familiar word at Nottingham Forest - but Montanier is still hopeful - SPORT NEWS

Nottingham Forest head coach Philippe Montanier is hoping their luck will finally turn when it comes to injuries as they prepare to go to Newcastle on Friday.

Change. For various different reasons, it is an overused, all too familiar word at Nottingham Forest, amid the current climate of frustration.

For Philippe Montanier, the biggest source of exasperation will be the changes forced upon him; the seemingly constant tide of injuries that have thwarted his efforts to instill any consistency in his team selection.

But the Frenchman is also old enough and wise enough to understand that the topic of change has another more worrying significance at the City Ground, as a run of four games without a win prompts fresh calls, from some sections of fans, for him to be replaced.
That is one change that is not yet immediately on the horizon.

But, however patient the American consortium, lead by John Jay Moores, might be, Montanier will know that mood of perseverance and understanding is unlikely to last for long, if the recent run of results is maintained for much longer.

If Montanier does not want the change in majority ownership – which remains days, rather than weeks away – to be followed by a change in head coach in the not too distant future, a change in form is very much required and sooner, rather than later.

He will be acutely aware of such things. Such is the life of a football manager. And this is hardly Montanier's first rodeo. But nor is he ready to let go of the managerial reins just yet.
As he puts it himself, he cannot worry about his own future. His concern; his focus must be on what happens on the pitch, rather than off it.

And, in the immediate future, that means the not inconsiderable challenge of facing a Newcastle side who will not only have revenge in mind, but also the additional motivation of wanting to bounce back from a defeat of their own, at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday, on their last outing at St James' Park.

It is arguably the most testing fixture most sides will face during the Championship season.

And, for Forest, it comes at a time when they will still be without the likes of Henri Lansbury, Chris Cohen, Daniel Pinillos and, when it comes to being able to start the game at least, Britt Assombalonga.

While Michael Mancienne is suspended, following another bout of Forest indiscipline – even if his exasperation was understandable.

For Montanier, the trip to St James' Park is one to be relished. But, to partially borrow the phrase used by Joe Worrall recently, it is one he might have relished more, had he been preparing to make the journey north with a full squad – or something close to it – at his disposal.
"It is not about having all the players fit, I would just like to have 80% fit. For me, right now, that would be perfect," said Montanier.

"You always have injured players; there are always one, two or three players missing, that is natural. Sometimes there is an exception and you have no players injured, if you are lucky.

"Sometimes there is an exceptional situation and you might have eight or ten players injured – but it is not normal to always have seven, eight or ten players injured.

"It is very frustrating. I cannot say what we are capable of reaching this season, because I have not seen my squad 80% fit.

"I need that to be able to see our level; to be able to have some consistency. It always seems to be difficult for us to have the same starting XI, for the last few months.
