Oliver Glasner’s great Nottingham Forest gamble: Squad running through fields as punishment, why he thinks players are not serious enough and how alienating stars could see him pay ultimate price

Tom Collomosse reports that Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner faces mounting pressure following a 2-0 defeat to Brentford, leaving the club 19th in the Premier League. In response to recent poor form, Glasner criticized his squad publicly and held a punishing Sunday recovery session with players running through overgrown fields along the River Trent. With only one win in his first 10 matches, the manager reportedly feels the squad lacks seriousness and does not hurt enough following defeats.

Collomosse warns that Glasner's strict methods and tactical rigidity risk alienating key dressing-room figures like Morgan Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Ola Aina. Given owner Evangelos Marinakis's history of siding with player power when sacking previous managers, Collomosse argues Glasner faces a pivotal fixture against Manchester City ahead of the November international break.
