27 h. ago Nottingham Forest horror show on home European return adds to Postecoglou pain

Ange Postecoglou finds himself in an awkward spot. As Midtjylland streamed forward on the counterattack to score their third goal of a sobering evening, the Nottingham Forest head coach rested both hands on his head. The scenes that followed were close to extraordinary, sections of the home support singing: “You’re getting sacked in the morning.” Then things got even more painful, the same supporters singing the name of his predecessor Nuno Espírito Santo and many turning towards Evangelos Marinakis, watching on his own private television in the directors’ box.Postecoglou insisted Forest had done their homework and understood what was always going to be a tricky assignment.
