Overview

• Forest lost 2-0 at Newcastle, with Bruno Guimaraes scoring from distance and Nick Woltemade converting a late penalty.
• The team sits 17th and one point above the drop zone after a seven-match winless start, the worst by a permanent Forest manager in a century.
• Ange Postecoglou said he expects discussions with the owner during the international break and declared he "loves a fight" as he vowed to turn results around.
• Forest adopted a more pragmatic setup and club figures felt aggrieved by the build-up to Newcastle’s opener, with internal recognition of an improved display despite no points.
• Fan frustration has been audible in recent games, while goalkeeper Matz Sels publicly backed Postecoglou and urged a response after the break.
