Overview
- Forest earned a clean sheet in Austria but extended their scoring drought as Morgan Gibbs-White had a first-half penalty saved.
- Dyche confirmed the lineup overhaul was compelled by absences, with Igor Jesus suspended and Taiwo Awoniyi, Omari Hutchinson and Jair Cunha not in the Europa League squad.
- The manager’s limited attacking options were underlined by late introductions of centre-backs Murillo and Zach Abbott after Dan Ndoye had come on.
- Clear chances went begging as James McAtee missed early, Ryan Yates saw a header cleared off the line and Nicolas Domínguez struck the bar in stoppage time.
- With Leeds United visiting the City Ground this weekend, Dyche pointed to the upcoming international break as a key window to improve fitness and recover players.
