## Summary

Brentford beat Nottingham Forest 2-0, extending Forest’s run of poor results and leaving manager Oliver Glasner demanding major changes. He accepted responsibility for the team’s problems but said players and staff must commit to his approach, warning that different personnel or a different manager may be needed if the club cannot change.

Forest created more chances but again failed to convert them, while both Brentford goals involved defender Nikola Milenkovic: he scored an own goal and later deflected a move finished by Igor Thiago. Forest have lost four of their past five matches and were third-bottom despite ranking third in Opta’s expected table; they have failed to score in five of nine league games.
