🚨 Glasner's Forest Debut Ends in Late Heartbreak, Leeds Steals It

23 August 2026, 09:17
📝 THE FULL PICTURE: Oliver Glasner walked to the center circle and applauded a half-empty City Ground after his first Premier League game as Nottingham Forest boss ended in a frustrating late loss to Leeds. Anton Stach's free-kick fooled Matz Sels with two minutes left, sending Daniel Farke celebrating with the away fans. Forest outplayed Leeds for stretches, Igor Jesus missed a big header and Nikola Milenkovic hit the post. Yet no new signings started, and eight of the XI were regulars from last season's opener. Glasner's not panicking, calling it a process, no magic button. But the optimism from his arrival took an early punch. 💭 MY TAKE: Look, nobody expected Real Madrid '70s vibes overnight, and Glasner said that himself. But when you sell Elliot Anderson for £116 million and roll out the same starting lineup, fans have every right to feel stuck. The structure looks promising, the finishing didn't. Leeds stole one, Forest lost two points. This is a rebuild, not a quick fix. But in the Premier League, patience runs thin fast. Glasner needs new faces, and he needs them soon.
