Nikola Milenkovic and 0% flop axed: Three Nottingham Forest players who should miss out vs Brentford

Glasner expected to make changes for Brentford trip with Milenkovic, Ndoye and Schlager among candidates to drop as Forest fight to end poor run.

Nottingham, former Forest manager Oliver Glasner is under pressure after winning just one of eight Premier League matches and faces a trip to Brentford on Saturday. Football Insider has identified three players who should be dropped from the starting XI.

Defender Nikola Milenkovic is highlighted for poor form throughout the season, with his performance at Ipswich Town particularly damaging—he lost possession to Julio Enciso, who levelled the score, and showed a lack of commitment in his reaction. Winger Dan Ndoye was also poor against Ipswich, recording zero shots on target, misplacing four passes and failing to complete a single cross, despite impressing for Switzerland in recent Nations League matches. Midfielder Xaver Schlager, while a good signing, should make way for Ibrahim Sangare, who at 28 has made Forest a more solid defensive unit when starting.

Brentford have struggled recently with no wins since the international break, but remain dangerous at home. Forest will need their best performance to take three points for the first time since early September.
