Nottingham Forest 2003β04 football season
During the 2003β04 English football season, Nottingham Forest competed in the
Football League First Division .
Season summary
The 2003β2004 season saw
Paul Hart suffer from a squad that was low in confidence and with no money. However, Forest started reasonably well, winning five of their first seven games and after 15 games, they won seven and lost five and were in the top half of the table. Unfortunately, when they went into the bottom three, after going 14 games without a win, the Forest chairman
Nigel Doughty called time on Hart's reign as Forest manager.
Joe Kinnear was then brought in to replace Hart. The club's directors looked to have made a good decision when Kinnear revitalised Forest, bringing out the best in key players like
Michael Dawson and
Andy Reid , and they climbed up the table to secure a safe 14th place.
