‘Difficult’ – Morgan Gibbs-White opens up on Nottingham Forest struggles in new message
Morgan Gibbs-White was disappointed as Nottingham Forest were defeated 3-2 by Midjtylland in the Europa League on Thursday.
Forest have now failed to win in six attempts since Nuno Espirito Santo’s departure, leaving supporters angry with new boss Ange Postecoglou.
The City Ground club have earned just one point from two Europa League outings, having drawn 2-2 with Real Betis in Spain last month.
Meanwhile, Postecoglou provided an injury update on Murillo after Nottingham Forest were beaten by Midjtylland on 2 October.
Morgan Gibbs-White calls for togetherness as Nottingham Forest lose again
Forest lost 1-0 to Sunderland in their last Premier League game, and wanted to utilise the Europa League to bounce back from that setback.
However, goals from Ousmane Diao, Mads Bech, and Valdemar Byskov sealed a victory for Midjtylland.
After Forest’s defeat, Gibbs-White wrote on his Instagram story: “Today meant so much to everyone involved in the club, and it’s down to us as players to put things right. We must all stick together like we have done to get out of this difficult period.”
Gibbs-White produced the assist for Dan Ndoye’s first-half equaliser, but ultimately his efforts were in vain as Nottingham Forest fell to defeat.
Ange Postecoglou is already in a desperate situation
Following the defeat to Midjtylland, Forest supporters chanted that Postecoglou was going to get sacked in the morning, epitomising the poor start that the former Tottenham boss has made in the East Midlands.
| Nottingham Forest all competitions | Last three results |
| Real Betis (A) | 2-2 D |
| Sunderland (H) | 0-1 L |
| Midjtylland (H) | 2-3 L |
The 60-year-old has steered the City Ground outfit to four losses in six matches, failing to win the other two.
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis proved his ruthless side when he sacked Espirito Santo, even though the new West Ham United boss guided them to Europe last season.
Therefore, as alluded to by the City Ground faithful, Postecoglou could already be in huge trouble, especially if his side’s poor form persists.
Forest take on Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday, 5 October, which could prove a tough fixture for Postecoglou, as the Magpies are in a positive mood after beating Union Saint-Gilloise 4-0 in the Champions League.
Postecoglou’s men then take on Chelsea after the international break, and will have to try and cope with the threat of attacking talents like Joao Pedro.
