Gary Reinker is worried about Nottingham Forest boss Ange Post-Cogulow, with more ‘tough looking fixtures’ to come after the international break.
The Reds sacked Nuno Espirito Santo during the September international break after picking up four points from three Premier League games of the season.
Postecoglou was appointed by owner Evangelos Marinakis to replace the Portuguese boss, who is currently West Ham’s head coach, but things have not gone to plan since then.
Nottingham Forest are looking to implement a new style of play under Post Coglou, but it was still difficult for the Australian to win his first match.
They added one point to their Premier League tally since Postcoglou took charge, while Forest knocked out the League Cup to Championship side Swansea, taking one point from their two Europa League fixtures.
Reports earlier this week claimed that Postcoglou was being granted a stay for the execution on city grounds, with Marinakis willing to give him a little more time to sort out the consequences.

Reflecting on the former Tottenham boss’s start at Nottingham Forest, Lineker said the rest is a football podcast.
Newcastle legend Alan Shearer added:
“They had a really successful season for Forest last season and have really talented players.
“They hadn’t won a game yet and they were pretty poor. Everything is built around Chris Wood. It went right up to him, they broke down right away and they sat down and compacted.
“I haven’t seen it in the forest below Anji yet.”
Lineker concluded: “They’ve got fixtures that are going to be tough to come. They’ve got Chelsea, Porto, Bournemouth, Manchester United.”

Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown says he is still well-connected within the Premier League but has heard that the Nottingham Forest player is “a bit disillusioned” by what’s going on at the club.
Brown told Football Insider:
“I hear there are some people who are a bit disillusioned with the constant changes that seem to be happening at the moment, and now there’s talk about sacking him.
“That may be part of the problem with Postcoglu. For all his mistakes, he’s fallen into a job where the players are already not happy with the way things happened.
“We sacked Nuno from the Blues. After the season and the performance he got out of the player, it was always going to cause anxiety.
“It makes them nervous right away, and then when they try to adapt to a new style of play and a new manager, they start losing games and it’s difficult to get that control back.
“Then you get rid of another manager after a month at work and the players have questions about their place and then have to adapt to a different way of playing and a different manager’s way.
“It’s a very precarious situation that they are in. They have to find a way to turn it around. I don’t know if looting another manager is the best solution.”
