Sean Dyche admitted he was frustrated by Nottingham Forest's draw against Crystal Palace at the City Stadium. The match, played on the banks of the Trent, saw Nottingham Forest play aggressively in the first half, with Morgan Gibbs-White opening the scoring in the 5th minute to put the South London side behind.  

However, the game shifted after Neco Williams was sent off with a red card in the 45th minute. Crystal Palace then equalized on a penalty and dominated the second half. Nottingham Forest, however, put up a strong fight against Oliver Glasner's team and deserved a point, even having a chance to take all three points late in the game.  

After the game, Shawn Dyche said, "We were both frustrated and excited. We played very well in the first half, the game was valuable, and we kept trying different ways of controlling the ball. Our counter-attacks were also very effective, creating several good scoring opportunities."  

“Morgan Gibbs-White scored a brilliant goal; he was outstanding in possession and off-the-ball movement. Then came the crucial moment, and I really wish he hadn’t handled the ball. He’s been making a huge contribution to the team. We’re not blaming him, but in an 11-on-11 situation, I think we should have been ahead, and I was hoping to score more goals and break down their defense, so I’m very frustrated.”  

“We lost Mats Sels at halftime, but Angus Gunn came on as a substitute and performed brilliantly. We executed our tactics very well in the second half, and it looked like we had a chance to make a difference towards the end of the game. The support from the fans was also excellent, which meant a lot here.”  

“We adjusted our formation at halftime and tried to stop them from scoring, which was a very effective strategy. We also worked hard to keep our two forwards in position to create counter-attacking opportunities, and I think they did a great job. In a game like today, you have to play halftime with 10 men. We accept this point, but we also need to remember the commendable parts of the game because there were many great moments today.”  

"The team's mentality is improving, and I think that's crucial. We know we have excellent players, but we need to put in more effort and get things right tactically, and that was evident in today's game."
