Nottingham Forest, currently the Premier League’s second-lowest scorers, have intensified their focus on finishing during training this week. With Oliver Glasner at the helm, the team ranks 19th in conversion rate, having scored five goals fewer than their expected tally.

In a recent statement, Glasner acknowledged the limitations of his own experience in scoring goals, opting to pass the reins to Chris Wood, who boasts nearly 200 goals in English football, including 92 in the Premier League. "Who can talk more about scoring goals than Chris Wood?" Glasner remarked, emphasizing Wood's expertise.

Wood briefly took on a coaching role, delivering a motivational message to the squad:

Never lose your confidence in your ability.

Despite the team's struggles, with only one win in their first seven matches, Glasner remains optimistic. He noted that the team's record mirrors last season's performance, during which managerial changes occurred early in the campaign. "I would be completely stupid if I didn't use the experience and quality we have in our team," he stated, highlighting the collaborative nature of team dynamics.

The recent defeat to Crystal Palace, despite having 24 shots, was particularly disheartening for Glasner, who described it as their best attacking display yet. He emphasized the need to remain calm and not dwell on missed opportunities, stating, "If you miss a few chances... it's part of the game."

Looking ahead to their upcoming match against Arsenal, the reigning champions, Glasner acknowledged the formidable challenge. He praised Arsenal's relentless effort and high possession statistics but expressed confidence in generating multiple chances. "It is about being efficient, taking the chances," he concluded.
