• Post-match interview with Forest manager Philippe Montanier
'Norwich are one of the top teams in the Championship and we needed to be at a higher level. We were a little timid with the ball and also in defence. We made things too easy for them.
'It is disappointing but our performance was not sufficient against a good team like Norwich.'
• Nottingham Forest reporter Sarah Clapson's verdict
'Forest shouldn't feel too disheartened by this particular defeat.
'Having just come down from the Premier League, Norwich showed why they are among the favourites to go straight back up.
'The Reds more than matched up to them for spells, putting the visitors under pressure with their attacking play – something to take heart from.'
