Ange Postecoglou was appointed as the manager of Nottingham Forest earlier this month. However, the team has struggled under his leadership, losing three out of five games, against teams like Arsenal and Sunderland in the Premier League, and to Swansea in the Carabao Cup.
Despite losses, Nottingham Forest managed to draw against Burnley in a league game and Real Betis in the UEFA Europa League. Postecoglou remains optimistic, stating that the team’s performance is getting better on the field.
At a recent press briefing, Postecoglou stressed that results are not his immediate concern. He said, “The players are committed and doing their best. We’re creating more opportunities, but haven’t translated that into wins yet.”
Nottingham Forest is gearing up to face Midtjylland at home in their second Europa League match this Thursday. Midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White believes that achieving their first victory could significantly change their momentum. The team is currently 17th in the Premier League standings with five points after six matches. Postecoglou hopes that the team’s effort will soon pay off.
Postecoglou provided a fitness update, indicating key defender Murillo is likely to be match-fit after recovering from a thigh injury. Nevertheless, Ola Aina will be absent due to a hamstring issue, and there are concerns over the availability of Douglas Luiz.
The clash against Midtjylland is scheduled at The City Ground in Nottinghamshire, on October 2, 2025. The game will kick off at 8 p.m. local time, marking the first official encounter between the two teams.
