Spectacular saves and blunder sees Nottingham Forest pile more misery on Crystal Palace

Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood to Premier League Productions: “It’s fantastic to get a win under the lights here at the City Ground, the crowd got us over the line.”

On his goal: “I was thinking just try and hit the target and anything can happen. You’ve got to keep trying and some go in.

“We’ve got to keep going and looking forward. We’ve got a big game on Friday. Anything can happen.”

Wood speaking to Sky Sports: “Fantastic. We knew that we needed that home win to get a kickstart for the season, and thankfully we got it tonight. It is about doing what we have been doing all season and being consistent with things. We managed to get the goal and then to also see it out at the end.”

On having creativity despite absences: “We know how good those players are and what fantastic players they are for our team and we sorely misss them at times but we showed tonight that we have a great squad that can help us compete in the league.

Half time thoughts: “You just have to keep going. There is always going to be another chance and you have to keep going. I was unlucky in the first half and a couple could have bounced a different way and I was unlucky to miss with a header. There will always be another chance around the corner and you have to be ready for it.”

On his goal: “I’ve no scored many from outside the box. I try to keep them inside the box because it’s a lot easier. You just try to get it [the shot] on target and then anything can happen. It just trickled under Dean’s [Henderson] hand. But it is one of those you have to take the shot and thankfully it went in.”

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner speaking to Sky Sports: “We are all frustrated and disapppointed and as always one or two situations decide the game. At the moment it goes against us, but this is the time we have to get through it together.

“I saw the team fighting from the first to the last second, we created chances, hit the post twice. At the moment don’t score goals and we have to be honest. No goal today, no goal v Liverpool, no goal v United, and if you play like this it is difficult to win.

“We make one mistake and we get punished. That is the situation we are in. But the only guys that can turn it around are is this team.”

On missed chances: “In the situation we are in things are not so fluid. In the final third we very often took the wrong decisions and this is through a lack of confidence. Maybe you need one to hit the post and go in instead of post and out, and then there was an unbelievable save from their keeper.

“Sometimes you need an easy goal but at the moment that is not arriving for us. We had chances to score but we didnt and it it tough times at the moment.

“At the time we conceded the goal we had the momentum in the game and we had control of the situation. It is a long ball and then you are 1-0 down.

“Then for 5-10 minutes Forest had the momentum. We worked and worked and worked to come back but they do not concede many goals at the moment. Disappointing but the mindset of the players makes me positive for the future.

On nerves the longer the side remain winless: “You can trust us. We are the guys that maybe suffer the most. I see the players now in the dressing room and it is our job to support them to lift their heads up and stay positive, but it’s not that easy.

“We have to rely on the experience of the group, some of the players will have seen this at previous clubs, to come back and work together and go again.”

Glasner to BBC Sport: “Very frustrating and very disappointing. It was a again a very close, tight game. At the end it was one tiny moment that decided the game and it’s always against us.

“The players are fighting hard. Yes we know our football right now is not the best, but we created chances and twice hit the post.

“We have had better times in our life together. We have to support each other to get the chin up and get ready for the next game.

“It’s not the time to blame anybody, I saw the players working hard from the first minute to the last. When we conceded the goal I thought we were better in the game. We lost the momentum and confidence. But we came back into the game and they made two unbelievable saves.

“It’s tough at the moment to be honest. But the character of the players, the hard working. Yes it’s disappointing but nobody is blaming anybody. The chemistry is good in the dressing room. We need the confidence and to get that we need to score goals.

“We will work hard to get this, to get the goals and the win.

“It’s not about too much tactical things, I see no problems regarding the tactics. Very often we are in the final third and making the wrong decisions. This is due to a lack of confidence. We are humans.

“It’s time for hugging the players, not for kicking them.”

“We’re creating chances but any slight mistake gets punished at the moment.

“When the world’s against you you have to keep fighting. We’re all at fault. It’s not one person for that goal.

“Life’s hard and you have to deal with it. You have to keep fighting to get better. It’s important that we stick together.

“You have to keep going, and we’ll keep going for sure.”
