The story

Oliver Glasner has called for stronger standards at Nottingham Forest as a difficult run leaves the club near the foot of the Premier League.

BBC Sport reports that Forest sit 19th and have yet to win or score at home in the league. Their 2–0 defeat by Brentford was a fourth loss in five matches.

Rebuilding the basics

Glasner’s comments focus on trust, respect and the expectations players must meet. Those are immediate concerns for a side trying to stop poor results from defining its season.

The home record gives the challenge a clear shape. Forest need both greater attacking output and a performance that can restore confidence around the club. The manager’s demands set the tone, but the response will ultimately be judged through what the team produces on the pitch.
