Defeat at Newcastle is his seventh match without a win

‘You have to be up for the fight and the struggle’
Ange Postecoglou is determined to convince Nottingham Forest’s board to retain faith in his managerial philosophy when he holds talks with the club’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, this week.
The Australian was in defiant, almost jocular form after Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Newcastle. It extended the manager’s winless run to seven games since he succeeded Nuno Espírito Santo last month. Yet Postecoglou, who unusually started with a back five, detected signs of progress as he prepared for vital talks with directors to discuss the future. “Yes, it’s a lost cause,” he said, sarcastically. “I see it as an exciting opportunity. You have to be up for the fight and the struggle. I’d be silly to be sitting here at the age of 60 if I lacked self-belief or fight. Even in the schoolyard I picked fights with people that beat me up.”
