Nottingham Forest\u2019s new era under Ange Postecoglou is already engulfed in tension, as frustrated supporters turned hostile during a 3\u20132 Europa League defeat to FC Midtjylland. Amid chants of \u201cyou\u2019re getting sacked in the morning,\u201d the Australian boss acknowledged the criticism but insisted his focus remains steadfast.<\/p>\n
The loss marks Postecoglou\u2019s sixth game without a win in charge, making him the first permanent Forest manager in a century to endure such a barren start.<\/p>\n
Forest conceded twice from set-pieces in quick succession and succumbed to a late strike from Valdemar Byskov. A stoppage-time penalty from Chris Wood reduced the deficit to 3\u20132 but proved too late.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the match, Postecoglou didn\u2019t shy away from the atmosphere. \u201cI heard it. They are fans. They want to see their team win and they\u2019re entitled to their opinion,\u201d he said. \u201cReally disappointing. Just really, really poor goals we conceded \u2026 it\u2019s been the story of our last few games.<\/p>\n
Despite the backlash, Postecoglou remains defiant. He maintained that the side is \u201con the right track,\u201d and vowed to keep pushing until wins follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
