"Very frustrating. We had a lot of chances, and we didn't put them to bed. And we got punished for it. We have been working on finishing in training, but today was not our day. Hopefully, we can put it right on Sunday and next week. We don't lack confidence, and the crowd was behind us. But they defended well, so credit to them."
"Every game is massive, and we do have full belief. We are training well, and the fans are sticking by us. We want to put things right. Across their last four matches at the City Ground in all competitions, Forest have had 88 shots, an xG of 6.4 and 126 touches in the opposition box - they have scored just once."
Nottingham Forest suffered a 1-0 defeat to Midtjylland in their Europa League last-16 first leg at the City Ground. Substitute Cho Gue-Sung scored the winning goal in the 80th minute with a header. Forest dominated possession and created 22 shots with 1.7 expected goals, but only six shots were on target, struggling in heavy rain. Midtjylland managed just six attempts with two on target. Despite the loss, Forest player Omari Hutchinson expressed confidence in their ability to recover in the second leg at MCH Arena next Thursday. Forest have struggled recently under manager Vitor Pereira, losing four of their last six games across all competitions.
