Former Derby County striker Darren Bent think dismissing Steve Cooper so early into the Premier League season would be "madness" despite Nottingham Forest's current form.
Forest are winless in their last five games with Cooper's side beaten in four of them. Cooper will know his side must start picking up results to climb out of the relegation zone and into safety.
Next up is a trip to the King Power Stadium against fellow strugglers Leicester City. The Foxes are just one place below Forest in 20th, having picked up only one point.
