Head coach Steve Cooper says Nottingham Forest are prepared to fight for their Premier League lives once the season resumes after the international break.
The Welshman insists the Reds were always going to be steeling themselves for a battle in the run-in, regardless of how Friday night’s game against Newcastle United panned out. And being beaten 2-1 at the City Ground hasn’t changed their mindset.
Alexander Isak’s double, with a last-minute winner from the penalty spot, ended Forest’s nine-match unbeaten run at home in the league, cancelling out Emmanuel Dennis’ opener. They are two points above the drop zone ahead of Saturday’s round of fixtures.
