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.
