Overview
- Nottingham Forest have won just one of their first seven Premier League games and sit near the bottom of the table after a slow start to Oliver Glasner's tenure.
- The team has not scored at the City Ground in the Premier League this season and posts the division's lowest shot conversion and the worst expected-goals (xG) figure despite creating many chances.
- Summer recruitment is under scrutiny after the reported £50m signing Liam Delap has managed one goal in six league appearances and missed several clear chances.
- Glasner and club insiders point to his history of slow starts at Crystal Palace that later yielded cup success and say they remain confident in his methods.
- Former scouts and pundits warn that growing fan anger and owner Evangelos Marinakis's record of quick manager changes mean Glasner's job could be at risk if results and home form do not improve soon.
