'Absolutely love it' – Nottingham Forest fans back Steve Cooper choice after battle for spot

Nottingham Forest supporters are mostly delighted to see Steve Cooper field an unchanged side for the third game in a week.

After back-to-back victories since the international break, most recently at Coventry in midweek, it’s the same 11 again to take on Birmingham City. That is in spite of Joe Lolley pushing Philip Zinckernagel hard for a place in the side.

That’s the one change that some Forest supporters may have been making had they been in the hotseat, but it’s an overall positive response to the side that will line up at the City Ground. Read supporters’ thoughts below.

@WS19Eaton: “When was the last time we didn’t change our line up this many times? Absolutely love it!”

@onedeswalker: “Sticking with a winning team. In Cooper we trust. Great potential on the bench if required. Lolley, Surridge and Cafu in particular have looked fresh and confident in recent games.”

@Adam_Webster96: “Personally would have started Lolley but can understand why he’s not changed it.”

@crag06: “Can’t moan, we won the last two.”

@mallyslife_: “Can't argue with that starting lineup, strong as ever and every player selected has defo earned his spot! Fitness levels are top notch under this regime it would appear, and momentum must be a big factor in not changing things too! If it ain't broke, don't fix it.”

@mredford17: “Unchanged team for three games in a week. Love that. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Everyone knows their jobs. We go again.”

@GC_NFFC: “Fairs. Unchanged it is then.”

@McBrads95: “Unchanged again, fair enough.”
