Nottingham Forest's winless run extended to five matches as they suffered a 2-0 defeat at Brentford, leaving them bottom of the Premier League. The atmosphere turned hostile as Forest fans booed their team off the pitch, frustrated by a lack of cutting edge in front of goal. Head coach Oliver Glasner admitted the performance was "not good enough" and warned that further changes were necessary to prevent a sixth managerial shake-up since last season.
The Bees took control early, with Nikola Milenkovic scoring an own goal and Igor Thiago adding a deflected second goal after 76 minutes. Forest struggled to create clear opportunities, managing only two golden chances in the first half, both squandered. James Mc Atee curled wide from inside the box, and Ryan Yates headed over from close range after the break.
The pattern continued after the interval, with the side wasting 14 shots before finally registering one on target late. Despite the introduction of Ryan Yates, the finishing woes persisted, highlighting a persistent scoring crisis for Glasner's side. The defeat leaves Forest rooted to the bottom of the table, six goals adrift of safety with a worrying lack of cutting edge.
