Midtjylland Beat Nottingham Forest 3-2 as Postecoglou’s Winless Start Reaches Six

Two set-piece concessions exposed recurring flaws, leaving Forest on one point in the Europa League group under intensifying scrutiny.

Overview

  • Sections of the home crowd chanted "you’re getting sacked in the morning" and sang Nuno Espírito Santo’s name late on at the City Ground.
  • Postecoglou said he heard the chants and that fans are entitled to their opinion, adding in broadcast interviews that he believes the team is on the right track.
  • Ousmane Diao and Mads Bech Sørensen struck from dead balls before Valdemar Byskov Andreasen added a late third, with Dan Ndoye and Chris Wood (penalty) scoring for Forest.
  • Murillo was forced off before half-time with a thigh issue on his return, compounding Forest’s defensive instability.
  • Forest have one point from two Europa League games, and Postecoglou is the first permanent club manager in about 100 years to go winless in his first six matches.
