Stach's late winner leaves Nottingham Forest pursuing stability under Glasner

Summary

Nottingham Forest is facing pressure after suffering an opening defeat under new manager Oliver Glasner on August 22. Club owner Evangelos Marinakis emphasized Glasner's winning pedigree from his time at Crystal Palace, but the team will need to adjust after finishing 16th last season. Forest implemented Glasner's preferred back three formation yet were denied a positive start as Anton Stach scored a late winner for the opposition. New signings, including defender Ousmane Diomande and midfielder Xaver Schlager, are anticipated to contribute as the club looks to strengthen before the transfer window closes.

After running through four managers last season, Nottingham Forest will hope for the turbulence to be finally behind them. Club owner Evangelos Marinakis termed Glasner "a winner" while announcing him as the new manager in the summer. The pressure will be on the Austrian, who won the the FA Cup, Conference League and Community Shield with the Eagles, to make immediate improvements to a side that finished 16th last campaign.
