Overview
- Forest were beaten 1-0 at the City Ground by Leeds after Anton Stach scored from an 88th-minute free kick on Saturday.
- Glasner said he picked players who completed pre-season and showed readiness in training, which is why Xaver Schlager was only a late substitute and Ousmane Diomande remained unused.
- The manager reiterated he does not expect new arrivals in time for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup rematch with Leeds but expects two signings in different positions before the window shuts.
- Fans and media described the performance as underwhelming and a reminder Forest remain a work in progress after a season of managerial instability.
- With fixtures congested and key summer signings still integrating, Forest list a centre‑forward and a right wing‑back as priorities to ease short‑term squad strain ahead of an upcoming trip to Anfield.
