Callum Hudson-Odoi has praised Sean Dyche for revitalising Nottingham Forest's squad dynamics. The team has experienced a turbulent season, beginning with the dismissal of Nuno Espirito Santo in early September despite his previous success in securing European football. Ange Postecoglou, who succeeded him, managed only eight games without a win before being replaced.
Since Dyche took over, Nottingham Forest has seen an improvement in their performance. They have secured three victories and suffered just one defeat in six matches across all competitions. This includes a thrilling 2-2 draw against Manchester United and an impressive 3-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield.
Hudson-Odoi expressed his admiration for Dyche's influence ahead of Forest's
Europa League match against Malmo on Thursday. He noted the positive changes within the squad since Dyche's arrival. "Sean and his staff have come in and done an amazing job," Hudson-Odoi said.
The player highlighted how the team's energy has shifted positively, with everyone striving to achieve the best results possible. "The bond and strength that we have had before will come back," he added, emphasising their renewed determination to fight for every game.
Hudson-Odoi acknowledged that while connections within the team had been strained previously, they are now being restored effectively. He mentioned that everyone is concentrating on playing and enjoying football again, which is leading to better outcomes.

The team is working hard to maintain this momentum and continue achieving favourable results. Hudson-Odoi believes that the reconnection within the group is evident in their performances on the pitch.
The changes under Dyche's leadership have brought about a sense of unity and focus among the players. As they prepare for upcoming challenges, Nottingham Forest aims to build on this newfound cohesion and success.
