Under-fire boss Ange Postecoglou delivered a passionate defence of his legacy as he vowed to win silverware at Nottingham Forest if given time.
The 60-year-old is under pressure after failing to win any of his opening seven games since replacing Nuno Espirito Santo last month.
Forest have been assessing their options during the international break, with ex-Burnley boss Sean Dyche among the names considered as a potential replacement despite Postecoglou having been in charge for just 38 days.
They host Chelsea on Saturday and Postecoglou gave a five-minute monologue at his pre-match news conference, with Forest 17th in the Premier League.
