Forest Lose 2-0 at Newcastle as Postecoglou Faces Owner Talks

A seven-match winless start has left Nottingham Forest one point above the relegation zone, putting Ange Postecoglou’s future under review during the international break.

Overview

  • Bruno Guimaraes curled in the opener and then won a late penalty that Nick Woltemade converted to seal Newcastle’s 2-0 victory at St James’ Park.
  • Postecoglou said he expects to meet owner Evangelos Marinakis during the upcoming break to discuss the team’s direction and next steps.
  • Forest sit 17th in the Premier League, one point clear of the drop, after a seven-game run without a win since Postecoglou’s September appointment.
  • The Australian is the first Forest manager in over 100 years to start with no wins in his opening seven matches across all competitions.
  • Home and away crowds taunted him with “sacked in the morning” chants as criticism grows following recent defeats in the Europa League and Carabao Cup.
