6 games without a win, Postecoglou becomes the worst coach of the century

Ange Postecoglou has yet to win since taking charge at the City Ground, becoming the first permanent Nottingham Forest manager in 100 years to fail to win any of his first six games (D2 L4).

The City Ground was abuzz with excitement after nearly three decades of waiting as Nottingham Forest returned to European competition for the first time since March 1996. Fans were hoping the team would make a strong impression after a poor run of form. However, Forest once again disappointed.

Nottingham is in deep crisis.

The roar of the crowd energised Forest as they started the game with a dominant presence. They controlled the game, putting pressure on the visitors’ defence and creating a number of clear-cut chances. However, their wasteful finishing cost them.

The visitors from Denmark were more pragmatic and cool-headed. A set-piece midway through the first half proved to be the turning point, with Aral Simsir setting up Ousmane Diao to tap in a precise tap-in to put Midtjylland ahead.

Forest responded strongly to the goal, with Dan Ndoye and Nikola Milenkovic both testing goalkeeper Elias Rafn Olafsson, forcing him into consecutive saves.

The pressure finally paid off when Morgan Gibbs-White cleverly broke through and set up Ndoye for a goal, sparking the atmosphere at the City Ground. But Forest's joy only lasted two minutes. Once again from a set-piece, centre-back Mads Bech restored Midtjylland's advantage.

Despite many efforts after that, Nottingham Forest could not turn the situation around. In the 88th minute, Valdemar Byskov put an end to the home team with a goal to increase the score to 3-1. A late effort only helped the Premier League representative reduce the score to 2-3 thanks to a penalty kick by Chris Wood in the 90+3 minute.

After 2 matches, Midtjylland won all matches and rose to second place in the Europa League rankings. Meanwhile, Forest dropped to 25th place with only 1 point.
