Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner admitted that his players were “nervous” and weighed down by the “heaviness of the past” against Coventry City on Saturday evening. Frank Lampard’s side came away from the City Ground with their first Premier League win in 25 years thanks to Jay Dasilva’s strike in the 55th minute. The Tricky Trees thought they had equalised late in the game when Igor Jesus poked home from close range, but it was ruled out after the VAR sent referee Jarred Gillett to the monitor to confirm the forward had tripped up Caleb Yirenkyi. Glasner was left “frustrated” and “disappointed” by the result, but admitted Forest only had themselves to blame for the defeat. “We wanted three points and the players gave everything until the end but we made one big mistake, one big ball from the goalkeeper,” he told BBC Match of the Day after the final whistle.“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.”History weighs heavy on Nottingham Forest as Coventry City earn first winForest have won just once at home since last Christmas, and Glasner believes that the two-time European Cup winner’s history means his team carry a heavy burden when playing on their own patch. “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,” he said. “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.”Read – Arsenal taught ‘big lesson’ by rampant BrightonRead More – Five of the best Premier League away kits in 2026/27See Also – The four clubs making their Champions League debut this seasonFollow the Football Faithful on Social Media:Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube | TikTokThe post History weighs heavy on Nottingham Forest as Coventry City earn first win appeared first on The Football Faithful.
