Gibbs-White gives Nottingham Forest edge against Southampton
Russell Martin insists he will not sacrifice his possession-based philosophy but he will surely need to modify it this season after his toothless Southampton team misfired on their home return to the Premier League against Nottingham Forest.
Martin will plead patience but Southampton spluttered in front of their fans and were fortunate not to trail during a meagre first half. Nuno Espírito Santo’s side were rewarded with the opener through Morgan Gibbs-White, with Southampton offering little in response. They still await a first goal and point since their return to the top flight after earning promotion at Wembley.
