Sabri Lamouchi sends Nottingham Forest warning ahead of Wigan showdown

Sabri Lamouchi has issued a warning to his Nottingham Forest players ahead of their final game of 2019.

The Reds round off their year with a Sky Bet Championship fixture against Wigan Athletic at the City Ground on Sunday (December 29).

Forest ended a run of five matches without a win on Boxing Day, seeing off Hull City 2-0 at the KCOM Stadium.

That kept them just outside the play-off zone but Lamouchi has warned against any complacency when his side face bottom-of-the-table Wigan in front of a sell-out home crowd.

“We have a game to play, two tough games," the head coach told the club's official website. "We obviously enjoyed the win against Hull as to win there is not easy and we did it.

“Now we have Wigan at home and until now, we have never played one easy game.

"I know Sunday will not be easy but we must play in our way with our quality in front of our fans.

“The Hull game was just one victory. After the QPR victory, we lost at home to Cardiff.

"We have lost a lot of points in the last five games and on Sunday, with our fans at a sold-out stadium, we have to confirm that we are back.”
