Oliver Glasner has admitted Nottingham Forest are suffering from too much relaxed culture and not enough high-performance discipline — and that the responsibility for the slump falls squarely on his own shoulders.

Forest sit 19th in the Premier League, without a win or a goal at home in the top flight this season. A 2-0 defeat at Brentford last weekend was a fourth loss in five matches, prompting the manager to draw the line and demand more from his squad.

Woodstock versus the military

Glasner reached for a vivid analogy to describe the culture problem he has identified. He contrasted the free-spirited atmosphere of the Woodstock festival with the rigid structure of military service — and argued that Forest have been living too close to the festival end of that spectrum.
