Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner showed his support for goalkeeper Dean Henderson after their 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. Despite Henderson’s error leading to the only goal of the match, Glasner refused to let him apologize.
The game saw Palace come close to scoring in the first half with Eddie Nketiah’s shot hitting the goalpost. However, Forest managed to break the deadlock in the 65th minute when Chris Wood capitalized on a defensive error to score.
Despite making changes and bringing in new players like Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr, Palace couldn’t find an equalizer. This defeat extended their winless start to eight games, surpassing a previous record set in the 2017-18 season.
Glasner emphasized that mistakes are part of the game and Henderson’s contributions have been valuable in previous matches. He highlighted the importance of how the team deals with errors and expressed confidence in Henderson’s abilities for future games, including the upcoming match against Tottenham.
The manager acknowledged the challenges ahead but remained optimistic about the team’s performance. He emphasized the need for unity and support for all players, including Henderson, as they face tough opposition in the Premier League.
Overall, Glasner’s message focused on resilience, teamwork, and moving forward from setbacks. The team will need to regroup and focus on their upcoming fixtures with a positive mindset to turn their season around.
