Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to Sky Sports: “It’s a deserved draw for both teams. First half we took the lead and in the second half the pressure increased. Nottingham Forest deserved the equaliser. We lost possession too quickly and too easily. We need to be more efficient.
“It’s our fourth game now and many players have played every single minute. We know this. We’ve got eight, nine, ten days to strengthen the squad and I am pretty sure we will do this.
“I think everybody can see we can’t afford to lose starters. It’s not too easy with one week to go. We need players to make us better and keep the competition high. This is what we’re looking for and I’m pretty sure we’ll get the right ones in.”
Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo, speaking to Sky Sports on support from the fans: “The bond that was created with the team and the fans is there to stay. It is unbreakable due to the fantastic moments we had last season.
“It was a beautiful journey – it will stick in our memories forever. No matter what happens, we will have this respect and mutual love.”
On Edu watching on and bringing everyone at the club together: “I believe that that is the only way to operate in a football club, if everybody is on the same page.
“It is helping in the same direction so hopefully we can do it this week and move forward – and take these nonsense questions and narrative away from our daily [lives].”
“The bond between the team and the fans is unbreakable… hopefully we can move forward from this nonsense”

Social media users gave their thoughts as Crystal Palace fans sing chants and unveil a banner of Nottingham Forest owner, Gibbs-White and John Textor…
@TheSirRobotto: As funny as the #CPFC chant is (‘Fuck UEFA Fuck John Textor Fuck Marinakis‘) It’s not Forest’s (#NFFC)or Marinakis’ fault that your chairman doesn’t read his emails 😂 Astonishing lack of self awareness. Also, SkySports commentators staying silent for the entire 2-3 minutes of that chant was a bit strange too. Wonder if they were told to either allow it, or not comment on it, as you usually get a ‘apologies for the language’ comment
@scotttclay: @SkySports as a parent sat with child watching my club I’m actually quite appalled you chose to remain silent as you actively panned your camera’s to the Crystal Palace fans profanity chants without so much as an apology for the distasteful language broadcast 🤔 standards? #NFFC
@LizzieWheeler24: Sky Sports zooming in on fans singing fuck UEFA and not saying a word is G O L D 😂 #cpfc
@AdamP1242: How is Crystal Palace allowing that into the stadium ? I can’t even bring a water bottle top into the away end and they have a 20 foot banner with a gun pointed at Morgan Gibbs White’s head 😂😂😂😂
@RedDogNF: Sky sports opening leaving the mics up on the palace fans, so we can hear them blaming everyone but themselves. Amazing. We’re all laughing at you #nffc #cpfc
@MonteCarNUFC: Palace fans hate he fact Forest have an owner who won’t bow down and sell his best players AND that they’re able to open their emails
@MariCLMurphy: Forest chanting their owners’ name in seriousness has given me the absolute ick you know, almost as bad as that Manchester City bit about the team’s lawyers
@OisinDubai: Lots of Forest fans getting upset by the non-stop Marinakis abuse from the Palace fans But Nuno loves it. Looks like he wants to join in #cpfc
@WillTooley: The banner and chant from Palace fans is just comedic at this point 🤣🤣🤣 #nffc
@DanieGillyd: The irony of palace nicking the chant we made up and it about our owner is not lost on me 😂😂 #nffc
@Beekstarr: Actually laughed hearing that Palace chant about uefa and marinakis, wonder if they’ll ever take their head out the sand and realise its literally their owners fault 😂 #NFFC
@mokofil: I assume Sky have just assumed it’s pointless to keep trying to apologise for bad language from the Palace fans, as their anti-Marinakis chant seems to go on for 10 minutes at a time
@foreverayellow: fair enough of detail gone into the banner like, surprised it was allowed in the stadium, some of the drawings on it, especially the gun to morgan gibb’s white’s head
Fair play to the crystal palace fans for being so honest pic.twitter.com/QVVOPsIOWh
