Nottingham Forest have 'major concerns' about Liam Delap

Delap has scored just once in seven Premier League games; Forest's goalscoring crisis has piled pressure on manager Glasner.

Nottingham Forest have major concerns about Liam Delap's form as the 23-year-old striker has managed just one goal in seven Premier League appearances this season. The club won only one of their opening eight league games and have dropped to 18th in the table, with their attacking struggles at the heart of their poor start.

Forest spent £50 million to sign Delap from Chelsea to address a longstanding goalscoring problem, but his early-season performances have only deepened those concerns. Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that the lack of consistent threat in front of goal will ultimately cost manager Oliver Glasner his job if results do not improve quickly.

While Glasner still has the backing of the board and most supporters, Brown argued the manager cannot be entirely blamed for Forest's struggles, pointing instead to the recruitment team's failure to adequately support him during the summer transfer window. Delap's inability to find the net regularly has become emblematic of Forest's wider attacking issues.
