Nuno Espirito Santo’s side were beaten 2-0 on Sunday to sit just a point above Luton in 17th place with four games of the season to go.

But the City Ground side were heavily critical of the referee and his assistants following three potential penalty calls during the game.

Immediately after full time, the official Forest Twitter account insisted they “cannot accept” such decisions and “will consider” their options.

Three extremely poor decisions - three penalties not given - which we simply cannot accept. We warned the PGMOL that the VAR is a Luton fan before the game but they didn’t change him. Our patience has been tested multiple times. NFFC will now consider its options.

This comes just a few weeks after Forest hired Mark Clattenburg as a referee consultant.
