Premier League legend Andy Cole has delivered his verdict on the job done by Steve Cooper with Nottingham Forest at the halfway point of the season.
The Reds struggled in the early months of the campaign, winning just one of their first 11 league games. But they have lost just two of the following eight matches, lifting them up to 13th in the standings, their highest position this term.
Ex-Forest striker Cole says that his former side's current position is largely down to the good work done by the manager. He has been left impressed by how Cooper has managed to get the club's many summer signings to buy into his methods.
