Boss Steve Cooper says the City Ground immediately “felt like home” for Nottingham Forest’s newcomers, as he reserved praise for striker Taiwo Awoniyi.
The Reds got their first Premier League points on the board as they secured a 1-0 home win over West Ham United at the weekend, with Awoniyi netting the only goal of the game.
For the 25-year-old, it was his first taste of the atmosphere Trentside as Forest did not play any pre-season friendlies on their own turf in the build-up to the current campaign. It was a similar situation for a number of his teammates, with eight of the starting XI making their home debuts against the Hammers.
