Andy Reid say the lines of communication between the Nottingham Forest’s first team and under-23 squad have never been stronger.
Former Reds winger Reid, who coaches the youngsters, has forged a strong relationship with head coach Steve Cooper and believes the “synergy” between the two camps will help the club continue its fine reputation of producing exciting young players.
“What we are able to do at the moment is link it all in with the way the first team like to do things,” said Reid, reported The Athletic. “The first-team staff have been brilliant at giving us lots of information about their approach. If you look at our performances, there is a lot of stuff that the first team do, in terms of the positions we take up and how we build from the back.
