Seeing Nottingham Forest fall apart against Leicester City will have brought back painful memories of Chris Hughton's last game in charge against Middlesbrough.
A similarly desperate performance to a year ago leaves the Reds bottom of the Premier League rather than the Championship after five straight defeats with each more depressing than the last. Beyond the leagues, there are differences between the final days of Hughton and what could be the final days of Cooper though, as all eyes turn to owner Evangelos Marinakis.
Forest felt broken as a club under Hughton. They do look pretty broken as a team right now under Cooper, but the support for him is there and belief remains among the fanbase that he is still the man to turn it around, as demonstrated by fans chanting his name with the game long gone last night.
