Nottingham Forest had nothing at all to do with the tumult in the transfer market. Initially, the media had still been expecting a huge storm in the transfer market due to Twain's return to Nottingham Forest. In the end, he bought Chen Jian and let go of David Sliva after much deliberation.
The team's results in January were two wins, two draws and one loss. It was not outstanding, but the results were not too bad either.
This was the current situation of Nottingham Forest. Twain's return might have stabilized the team morale but the team's results did not rise all the way to the top immediately. The team was still hovering at the area below average even though they had managed to escape relegation.
