Ange Postecoglou has been in charge at Nottingham Forest for just 24 days but fans have already snapped. Hands on his head, Postecoglou struck a lone figure on the side of the City Ground touchline after Valdemar Byskov's late goal put Midtjylland 3-1 up. "Sacked in the morning" came the chant from the home supporters, while a few waited at the end to boo Postecoglou when he walked down the tunnel.
Ange Postecoglou has been in charge at Nottingham Forest for just 24 days but fans have already snapped.
Hands on his head, Postecoglou struck a lone figure on the side of the City Ground touchline after Valdemar Byskov's late goal put Midtjylland 3-1 up.
"Sacked in the morning" came the chant from the home supporters, while a few waited at the end to boo Postecoglou when he walked down the tunnel.
Just 24 hours earlier, it had still been positive - with Morgan Gibbs-White asserting Forest would be "unstoppable" when it clicked. Sunday's trip to Newcastle is now vital, with Postecoglou facing the media again on Friday.
But the 3-2 Europa League defeat left Postecoglou winless in his opening six games - the first time in 100 years that has happened at Forest.
He knew it was not "love at first sight" with Forest fans and promised to win them over, but that relationship already looks broken after less than a month.
Once fans turn it is hard to win them back, despite Postecoglou's insistence his side are on the right track, and when supporters are turning round to openly question owner Evangelos Marinakis in the stand the situation appears bleak.
Alex McLeish lasted 40 days as Forest boss before leaving in February 2013 during the chaotic early days under the Al-Hasawi family.
That came after transfer disagreements and one win in seven games. Given the current feeling on the terraces, Postecoglou may not even last as long.
Come back to this page later on Friday for all the key lines from Postecoglou.
