Analysis: Glasner left with food for thought

[Getty Images] There will be plenty to ponder for Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner after this result. Forest have failed to score in their first three home games in a league campaign for the first time in their history. Their expected goals (xG) in this match was 1.15 compared with Coventry's 0.67, but in their first meeting in the Premier League since 1999 they were left to rue their wastefulness. Forest's 24 shots today were their second most in a Premier League match since they returned to the top flight in 2022. Similarly, only Pascal Gross (15) has created more chances in the league this season than Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White (14). There was a clear lack of cutting edge, which meant much of this creativity was in vain. Delap, a £45m signing from Chelsea , was supposed to provide some ruthlessness, but none of his four shots were on target and Coventry largely kept him quiet. Last season Forest won just four of their 19 home games and were among the fourth-worst in terms of goals scored on home turf. Glasner identified this as a clear area for improvement at the start of his tenure, but this result was a stark reminder that there is still work to do.
