Transfer targets

Nottingham Forest make their move for Manfred Ugalde

$21.6M on the table at Norwich City. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market

Murillo asks to leave Nottingham Forest

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout

Matz Sels says Nottingham Forest went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Matz Sels stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match

No end in sight to Nottingham Forest's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Nottingham Forest has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings

Nikola Milenković pops up at the right end — 7.88

7.88, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad

Words exchanged at Nottingham Forest

Liam Delap and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market

Aaron Bott is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Nottingham Forest is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Nottingham Forest

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

In brief
