Nottingham Forest head coach Oliver Glasner used the international break to consult experienced squad members and gain deeper insight into the club. Following a home defeat against Coventry City last month, Glasner emphasized the importance of building consistency in performances as Forest continue adapting to his tactical style three months into his tenure.
