Overview
- Nottingham Forest lost 2-0 at Brentford on Saturday after a Nikola Milenkovic own goal and a late strike from Igor Thiago decided the match.
- The defeat left Forest in the Premier League relegation zone and extended their run to one win from eight league games.
- Manager Oliver Glasner said performances were “not good enough,” vowed to make broad changes to tactics and selection, and warned that failure to improve could lead to a sixth manager being appointed.
- Statistical models from Opta show Forest have created chances at a level that should yield more points, highlighting a problem converting opportunities rather than a total lack of chance creation.
- Fans booed at full time and Glasner’s earlier claim of owner Evangelos Marinakis’s support now sits alongside visible short-term pressure on players, recruitment and club structure that could prompt rapid decisions if results do not improve.
