Nottingham Forest boss Martin O’Neill saw his side lose heavily last night.
Martin O’Neill has told BBC Radio Nottingham that Nottingham Forest’s mentality needs to change.
Forest were beaten 3-0 by Sheffield Wednesday last night, and it appears that their play off chances are now over.
Forest’s display at Hillsborough was highly disappointing, with the Reds failing to match Wednesday for large periods of the match.
And O’Neill feels that Forest’s mentality needs to change if they are to be successful.
To do so, the Irish manager has suggested that he may have to make alterations to his squad in the summer.
“My job here is to change the mentality of this football club. I will do it,” he said.
“This is my job, I intend to do that. These are not big words. We’ve had to hit tough times, maybe a realisation of what’s ahead, but it will change.
I think it can be a combination of both [new players and the current squad]. “The most important thing is for players, if they want to get bettter, they have to listen.
“I’ve been in this game a long time and had fairly decent success. What I’m saying to the players I think is absolutely spot on, they have to take it on board.”
Forest actually went into the break at 0-0, but they quickly capitulated after half-time.
Wednesday scored three goals in an 11 minute period after the break, as they picked up a comfortable victory in the end.
Forest’s defeat leaves them sitting in 10th place in the Championship table – six points away from the play offs.
