Boss Steve Cooper says he has seen enough in the last three league games to believe his Nottingham Forest team is coming together.
Plenty of pundits have focused on a summer shopping spree which has seen 17 players brought in by the Reds so far, with defender Renan Lodi set to be announced as the 18th new arrival - and further business likely before Thursday's deadline. Cooper has been quizzed several times on the challenges of getting an overhauled side to gel.
But the answers have come on the pitch. Forest are holding their own in the top-flight, not least with a good performance in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
