Captain Joe Worrall says Nottingham Forest cannot allow negative thoughts to dominate as they battle to avoid relegation.
As one of the big characters in the dressing room, the centre-back is determined to lead by example by keeping calm as the Reds try to claw their way out of trouble. But that comes with an acceptance of the precarious position Steve Cooper’s side find themselves in with eight games remaining.
Defeat at Aston Villa last weekend extended Forest’s winless run to nine matches and saw them drop into the relegation zone. It remains tight at the bottom of the Premier League table, however, with only goal difference keeping Everton above the dotted line, while Leeds United’s cushion stands at two points.
