Forest Fans Turn On Postecoglou as Midtjylland Win at the City Ground

The coach insists the process is sound despite a hostile reception on the club’s long-awaited European home return.

Overview

  • Midtjylland won 3-2 at the City Ground on Forest’s first home European night since 1996.
  • Large sections of the crowd booed and chanted for Postecoglou to be sacked, with some singing Nuno Espírito Santo’s name.
  • The defeat left Postecoglou winless in six matches in charge, a 100-year first for a permanent Forest manager per Opta.
  • Two goals arrived from set-pieces before a late break sealed the result, again exposing Forest’s dead-ball defending.
  • Chris Wood had two efforts ruled offside before converting a stoppage-time penalty, and defender Murillo went off injured as attention turns to Sunday’s trip to Newcastle.
