Saturday’s trip to Hull City may not have as much riding on it as Nottingham Forest had hoped, but boss Steve Cooper has stressed it is no less important.
And he has challenged his players to secure a third-placed finish in the Championship. That would represent their highest finish in the second tier since 2010.
And a win would take them to 82 points, making it the Reds’ highest points total since 1998, when they were promoted as champions with 94. It would also maintain the mentality Cooper has drummed into his side from the moment he arrived at the City Ground last September.
