Nottingham Forest have won just one of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
Philippe Montanier says that he cannot let rumours about his future at Nottingham Forest distract him for his task in hand at the City Ground.
There have been suggestions that Montanier is under pressure at Forest, after what has been a disappointing start to the season.
Forest owner Fawaz Al Hasawi has not been particularly patient during his time at the helm of the Reds to date, and has dispensed with managers frequently.
However, Montanier insists that he and his Forest squad must remain focused, if they are to achieve their aims.
Forest have won just once in their last 10 matches in all competitions, and they were beaten at home against Cardiff City in their latest fixture.
The Reds’ poor run of form has seen them slip right down the Championship table.
Forest are now in 19th place in the second tier standings, and they are only three points above the drop zone.
The Reds are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Reading at the Madejski Stadium.
