Recognised manager spotted in the stands watching Nottingham ForeFulhamst vs
Nottingham Forest suffered their first defeat of the season last time out against Fulham, which happened to be witnessed by a recognised manager in the stands.
Nuno Espirito Santo‘s side put in a Steve Cooper-esque performance against Fulham on Saturday, but it was the officiating which left the sour taste in the mouths of Nottingham Forest fans.
Murillo was involved in an incident where he stood on the back of an attacker’s heel, which the referee deemed to be a penalty.
Dermot Gallagher and Dean Ashton gave their thoughts on the Murillo incident on Ref Watch and both believed it was a penalty. This seems a little harsh considering he’s not even looking at the ball and other clubs have gotten away with far worse in the Premier League already this season.There was another manager in the stands watching Nottingham Forest vs Fulham, and it would be interesting to know his opinion on things.Interestingly, footage appeared of him in the stands on X at the City Ground, (as per
Lee Carsley spotted watching Nottingham Forest vs Fulham
Lee Carsley is fresh off a stint as England boss, as the FA look to appoint a replacement after Gareth Southgate’s departure after the Euros.
The 50-year-old called Morgan Gibbs-White up to his England squad recently, but he wasn’t on display after being given his marching orders against Brighton.
It remains to be seen as to who he might have been watching.
We can only speculate with names such as James Ward-Prowse, Elliot Anderson, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Emile Smith Rowe.
Gareth Southgate’
Lee Carsley’s current managerial situation
England played some attractive football at times against the Republic of Ireland and Finland.
However, it remains to be seen as to whether he will land the permanent job.
One player who will be hoping he does is Morgan Gibbs-White, who has a great relationship with Carsley after their work together in the Under-21s side
.
It’s Gibbs-White’s performances in a Forest shirt that have warranted a call-up to the England squad, not his connections with Carsley, as he’s been simply superb this season.
Nottingham Forest were handed their first defeat of the season against Fulham at the weekend, which led to fans saying the same thing about Taiwo Awoniyi after the game.
Nuno Espirito Santo will need to pick up his players quickly as next up is a trip to Stamford Bridge to face one of the Premier League’s form sides in Chelsea
The Blues are unbeaten in their last five top-flight games, scoring 15 goals in the process.
Chris Wood has led the line quite well for Forest already this season and has three goals to show for it in the Premier League, but he just couldn’t have much of an influence on the game against Fulham.
However, it was the decision to chuck Taiwo Awoniyi up front alongside Wood that proved to be the downfall, as it just didn’t work.
Since the game, fans have been reacting to the performance of Awoniyi on X.
