Nottingham Forest will be without Morgan Gibbs-White against Fulham after his red card in the draw with Brighton
No sooner had he challenged Joao Pedro with 83 minutes of Nottingham Forest’s clash with Brighton and Hove Albion gone, Morgan Gibbs-White quickly stood up and gave a defiant jab of the finger.
“In that moment Morgan made that effort for the team,” head coach Nuno Espirito Santo reflected in his pre-match press conference on Thursday. "We were unbalanced, knowing that any goal in that particular moment of the game would be definitive. It's emotional; we are under a lot of stress.” The verdict of the Premier League’s Key Match Incidents panel will only further rub salt in Forest’s wound. Three panellists argued Jones was wrong to send off Gibbs-White while two deemed it a “reckless tackle”.
Nuno insisted on Thursday that the KMI split would not knock any trust in officials. "Not at all. We are positive there has been a big effort from referees to improve and make things right and not influence the game,” he said. Emotions were running high on the south coast. Both Nuno and Gibbs-White were charged by the Football Association earlier this week with the allegation they “acted in an improper manner” and/or “used abusive and/or insulting words” towards the officials.
