Forest meet Brighton today sitting one place above the dropzone.
“He’s good,” Hudson-Odoi said of the Portuguese. “The atmosphere is changing and it’s gone up, so you can tell from the boys that everyone's fighting and trying to work hard to get results.
“He’s brought a great atmosphere, good energy, and he’s a good person to talk to as well.
"I think everyone's just looking forward to the future - hopefully getting results and doing as much as possible to stay in the league.
"The Premier League has not gone our way as much as it could. For us, we're just going to keep focusing on that, focus on what we are and try to keep moving forward and keep going up the table with results.
“A million per cent this is a big, big, big game for us. We know that. Where we are in the table, we need to be getting points and trying to move forward and upwards.
“It's an important game. We’ll work on the stuff that we need to work on and hope to get the result done.”
