Nottingham Forest boss Nuno admits he's unimpressed by his ban for being sent off in the draw with Brighton last month.

Nuno has received a three-match suspension after the fracas, which emptied both benches. Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler was also sent off, but was only later fined by the disciplinary committee.

"I'm surprised - it's a big sanction but there's nothing we can do," said Nuno. "We had a hearing, everything was normal. The sanction has been decided. Let's go."

Meanwhile, Forest say they will appeal a five-match stadium ban handed to owner Evangelos Marinakis.

He was found guilty of improper conduct after the defeat to Fulham in September.

As well as a three-match ban, Nuno was fined £55,000. Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White has a one-match ban from the incident and a £20,000 fine.
