Nuno likely felt intense frustration towards Callum Hudson-Odoi. Mere moments before Cunha scored the opening goal, Hudson-Odoi delivered a lackluster cross directly into the hands of Wolves’ goalkeeper, Jose Sa. Regardless of the England international’s reputation, the decision to cross seemed odd, especially given the lack of teammates in the box.
Nottingham Forest supporters at the City Ground might have hoped Hudson-Odoi would learn from this mistake, either by delivering a more effective pass into the box or by executing a more challenging cross for Sa. However, to their dismay, Hudson-Odoi repeated the same error seconds later, delivering an identical cross into Sa’s hands.
Sa quickly launched the ball towards Cunha, contributing to the South American’s opening goal.
In our assessment, Nuno must have been livid with Hudson-Odoi for squandering possession not once, but twice, in such a short span with the same mistake. &w=707&quality=100)
While some might perceive our reaction as exaggerated over a couple of crosses, Nottingham Forest had performed admirably in the first half, only to be let down by a moment of carelessness. The Premier League demands precision, with even slight errors often determining the outcome of closely contested matches at this level.
In a relegation battle, Nuno will undoubtedly want to eliminate such lapses in judgment, as Nottingham Forest are running out of opportunities to accumulate points.
A crucial match against Everton awaits Nottingham Forest next week, and fans will hope to see improved execution from the Reds at Goodison Park.
