Sean Dyche enjoyed the moment as he watched from the touchline.

Their new manager looked around the City Ground as the Nottingham Forest fans sang Mull of Kintyre.

Since 1978, Paul McCartney’s song has been the club’s anthem as Nottingham Forest has won the First Division title under Brian Clough. Since 1977, the club has used its song as its anthem.

After winning the first game 3-0 over Porto, the club’s third manager of the season will now hope to hear it countless times.

He joined Chesterfield 35 years ago as a young professional, and Dyche enjoyed the atmosphere of the Europa League.

I had been waiting that moment for a while. He claimed that all I wanted to do as a youngster in 1987 was wear the shirt.

I’ve learned that sometimes you have to slow your thinking down and take it in. “To come back as the manager is very pleasing and to stand there and absorb it.

“Many big events in life are so nerve-wracking that they just pass and are never finished.” So I decided to “take it in and store it in my memory.” “

How did Nottingham Forest appear?

Chris Wood, who has been suffering from a knee injury, would not be Chris Wood’s most powerful weapon, according to his manager.

The striker, who scored 53 goals for Dyche at Burnley, still poses the biggest threat for Forest despite his inconsistent season, which saw him only score three goals.

Jesus stepped up to replace Taiwo Awoniyi and pulled Porto out of position before scoring his third Europa League goal from the spot to make the game a success.

With Elliot Anderson and Douglas Luiz seated in front of them in midfield, Dyche switched to a back four, making center-backs Murillo and Nikola Milenkovic more comfortable.

In addition to Callum Hudson-Odoi and Dan Ndoye, Anderson was his usual energetic, all-action self, giving Gibbs-White more room to run.

Even though the widemen’s end product occasionally lacked, they were frequently used.

James McAtee, Omari Hutchinson, Dilane Bakwa, and Arnaud Kalimuendo, all worth around £120 million, were dropped from the squad on Saturday, and Dyche recalled them to the bench.

Due to Bakwa’s injury, Hutchinson, Forest’s £37.5 million record signing, was not selected for the European squad.

Under Nuno Espirito Santo, compact, counter-attacking, and more pragmatic, Forest can perhaps revert to their former ways sooner than they did with Ange Postecoglou’s high-press, high-tempo style.

More bravery, spirit, and courage were displayed than under Postecoglou, which undoubtedly made it look easier. While he was in charge, the Australian might be forgiven for wondering where it was.

In the end, it gave Forest its first clean sheet in 21 games since April’s 1-0 victory over Manchester United.

“I finally can breathe tonight,” Gibbs-White told TNT Sports. With all the changes and poor performances over the past few months, it was good to get our first win in eight or nine games.

“I want to thank the fans for sticking by us and how delighted we were to receive the three points.”

The gaffer claimed that after the first season, we had a true identity and that he wants to continue that. I’m just delighted that the boys won and received three points.

Fans are quickly introduced to the new era.

Forest’s fans chanted “sacked in the morning” at Postecoglou, his fifth game in charge, in the final European game at City Ground.

Due to the fans’ fury and refusal to accept him, Midtjylland’s defeat now feels like the beginning of his career.

After Reece James’ goal made Chelsea 3-0 up on Saturday, Postecoglou was fired, and owner Evangelos Marinkas had made up his mind by leaving the stands just after an hour later.

Then, on Thursday, it was turned into passion rather than anger.

When he discussed Brian Clough’s dog Del Boy running around his feet almost 40 years ago, Pre-Game Dyche had the right tone when he tapped into what supporters needed and what they could buy into.

The club’s entire backroom staff, including coaches Ian Woan and Steve Stone, both played for the Forests in the 1995 1-0 victory over Lyon that was the last tie they won in Europe.

Supporters reacted by yelling on the side even after they thought Jan Bednarek had levelled before it was declared illegal.

After fans sang “Forest are back,” fireworks started to burn outside the City Ground, sparking a much-needed friendship with Dyche.

When you are on the side, you hear a noise whether it is a positive noise or a negative noise, according to Dyche.

I’m here to help the job, not to judge or question anything, but to say, “I’m here to do whatever.” Wining helps, which is nice when they support you right away.

When they see a team wearing the shirt with pride, these fans will accept that, win, lose, or draw. It’s very satisfying for them to end it off with a strong performance and victory. That’s a bonus if they can accept me and my staff and what’s happening.
