Head coach Oliver Glasner refused to be drawn on the controversy at the centre of Nottingham Forest’s 1-0 defeat to Coventry City.

The Reds remain without a home win in the Premier League since April after a frustrating evening at the City Ground. Jay Dasilva’s second-half goal proved to be the difference, but the hosts will feel they should have had at least a point on the night.

"Of course I have thoughts but I don't want to speak about it again,” Glasner said (via the BBC). "We had this big discussion after Tottenham, referee decided and that's it."

Glasner added: Frustrated, disappointed. We wanted three points and the players gave everything until the end but we made one big mistake, one big ball from the goalkeeper.

"We knew he had a very big strike and we got punished. We tried everything until the end but we have to blame ourselves. It's the third home game without a goal and that makes it difficult to win.

To get it, it's a simple one-two punch.

"We have to find a solution, today was the first time I could feel the heaviness of the past, it was very quiet in the dressing room. When we conceded the goal, everyone was nervous, the entire City Ground was nervous and I think this is the reason of last year. There is nobody to blame, the solution is to play with more freedom and more confidence."

“VAR: ‘Nottingham Forest No.11 clearly stands on the foot of Coventry No.8, which prevents him from playing the ball in a normal manner.’

“REF: “After review, Nottingham Forest No.11 steps on the foot of Coventry No.8 and trips him. The final decision is direct free-kick.’”
