Latest Nottingham Forest news as Nuno Espirito Santo's Reds beaten 1-0 by Elche in pre-season friendly
Nottingham Forest suffered their first defeat of pre-season as they lost 1-0 to Elche at the Pinatar Arena in Spain.
Nuno Espirito Santo made 11 changes at the interval as he continued to share around the minutes. Hwang Ui-jo almost got the Reds back on level terms but hit the post with 65 minutes gone. Murillo: He really does want his first Forest goal! Plenty of examples of Murillo doing Murillo things, from the odd fancy flick, delightful passes and then a brilliant run and attempt at goal.
After two years back among the elite, the Reds are now well aware of the task in front of them and the challenges they face. And although there is no doubt this particular division takes no prisoners, there is a sense Forest are now equipped to meet the test head on. Admittedly, reading too much into summer friendlies is unwise. Predicting how an unpredictable Premier League might pan out is not easy at the best of times.
There is a lot to look forward to. With that in mind, we have produced our Nottingham Forest 2024/25 kick-off special, our brilliant guide to the new season. Elliot Anderson: A huge relief for the Reds to have him fit and available after being on the end of a nasty tackle in midweek. Has shown both his versatility and his positivity in pre-season so far. Constantly looked to get on the ball.
Callum Hudson-Odoi: Got his team going after falling behind with some strong runs down the left. Put in a terrific ball to create an opportunity for Williams and tried his luck by cutting inside late on in the half.Carlos Miguel: Still hasn’t exactly been properly tested in the games he has played so far. Did get to make a save this time, but it was a fairly routine one.
Harry Toffolo: Drafted into a three-man back line again as Nuno stuck with what might be his preferred formation. Generally dealt with any Elche threat pretty well.
