Crystal Palace matched their worst start to the Premier League season in 2017 after losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest, proving to be the home team’s first victory of the season. Despite not being heavily defeated in any of their league games, Palace’s struggles under the management of Glasner were evident. New signings were struggling, and players seemed uncomfortable in Glasner’s system, which he appeared unwilling to change. Rumors of the likelihood of Glasner getting sacked were fueled by the availability of managers Moyes and Potter. The match saw Forest’s Chris Wood score the winning goal in the 65th minute, making him only the third Forest player to score 20 Premier League goals. While Palace tried to equalize in the remaining minutes of the match, they were unable to break through Forest’s defense. The game showcased some standout performances, with Forest’s Elliot Anderson impressing with his dribbling, and Palace’s Eze showcasing some close attempts at goal. Overall, the match highlighted Palace’s ongoing struggle to find their form under Glasner’s management and raised doubts about the team’s performance in the Premier League season. The defeat added to the pressure on Glasner’s position as the team’s manager, with fans and commentators questioning his tactics and the team’s overall performance.
