Nottingham Forest, Oliver Glasner, Brentford and Igor Thiago
31 October 2026
Nottingham Forest suffered a 2-0 defeat at Brentford, leaving them 19th in the Premier League after just one win from nine matches. Manager Oliver Glasner warned that another managerial change could follow unless performances improve.
A Nikola Milenković own goal put Brentford ahead before Igor Thiago secured victory in the 76th minute. Forest struggled to convert chances despite regularly creating opportunities this season. Glasner criticised repeated defensive mistakes and poor finishing, promising changes to his approach. Forest’s next league challenge is against Manchester City.
Why It Matters
Forest's poor results increase the risk of relegation and put Glasner's position under scrutiny.
