Steve Cooper is confident Nottingham Forest have a "strong plan" in place to make the most of the upcoming World Cup break.
A tough start to life back in the Premier League has left the Reds bottom of the table ahead of Saturday's clash with Brentford. For head coach Cooper, in addition to the challenge which comes with the step up in division, he has also been faced with trying to get a new-look group to gel.
After a summer overhaul which saw 22 signings made, Forest have struggled for cohesion on the pitch. Up until last Sunday's thumping at Arsenal, they had been making progress, but the break will nevertheless provide valuable time on the training ground for the manager and his players.
