Overview
- The 0-0 at the City Ground moved Forest above the relegation places on goal difference, extending Vitor Pereira’s wait for a first Premier League win.
- Pereira explained he assessed Morgan Gibbs‑White’s energy levels and opted for Ryan Yates while introducing fresh wingers to chase a breakthrough.
- Forest failed to register a shot on target after the interval and saw Dan Ndoye’s finish disallowed for handball.
- Supporters criticised the Yates-for-Gibbs‑White change as playing for a point, while chants for Taiwo Awoniyi preceded his lively cameo in place of Igor Jesus.
- The head coach indicated he may rotate for Thursday’s Midtjylland second leg, with Premier League survival taking precedence over Europe.
