Gibbs-White: “We’ll Be Unstoppable” as Postecoglou Era Builds at Forest

“We’ll Be Unstoppable” – Gibbs-White Believes Forest’s Breakthrough Is Coming

Morgan Gibbs-White says Nottingham Forest are close to a breakthrough under new manager Ange Postecoglou, despite a winless start to his reign. The Europa League clash with Midtjylland marks Forest’s first European home match in 30 years, and confidence remains high despite recent results.

“When we get that first win, we’ll be unstoppable,” said Gibbs-White. “We believe in the manager and his ideas.”

Forest are still seeking their first victory under the former Tottenham boss, having drawn 2-2 away at Real Betis last week. The club’s last European night at the City Ground came in March 1996 — a 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich — but a new chapter begins Thursday.

Postecoglou’s Philosophy Taking Root

Postecoglou joined Forest last month, replacing Nuno Espirito Santo, who brought the club back to European competition. The new boss brings an attacking, high-tempo style, and players like Neco Williams say the squad is adjusting.

“It’s obviously different from our previous manager. The quicker we get used to it, the quicker we’ll get results,” said Williams.

Despite just 22 days in charge, Forest’s style is visibly changing:

The team is passing more, creating more chances, and conceding fewer big chances — signs that the system is beginning to take hold.

A Slow Start, But No Panic

Forest’s opening five matches under Postecoglou include:

• 0-3 vs Arsenal (Premier League)

• 2-2 at Real Betis (Europa League)

• 1-1 at Burnley (Premier League)

• Carabao Cup loss at Swansea

• Waiting for first win

Despite the lack of results, internal confidence remains strong. Postecoglou, who won the Europa League with Spurs last season, urges patience:

“I have no doubt the results will come. We’ll be a compelling team to watch, and the results will follow.”

A Historic Night at City Ground

Facing Midtjylland on Thursday is more than just another group stage fixture. It’s a moment of emotional and historical significance — Forest’s first European home game in three decades.

Postecoglou is fully aware of the moment:

“It’s a privilege to lead this club back into Europe after 30 years. We want this to be a regular thing, not a one-off.”

What’s Next for Forest?

• Europa League: vs Midtjylland – Thursday, 3 October

• Premier League: vs Crystal Palace – Sunday, 6 October

• Next UEL Match: vs Real Betis (Home) – 24 October

Key Takeaways

• Forest remain winless under Postecoglou but are improving statistically.

• The squad is adapting to a new attacking system.

• European return marks a milestone after 30 years.

• Gibbs-White: “We’ll be unstoppable” once the system clicks.
