Head coach Steve Cooper remains convinced Nottingham Forest can turn around their dismal run of form as they fight to retain their Premier League status.
Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Aston Villa saw the Reds drop into the relegation zone for the first time since January. They have now gone nine games without a win and have suffered five straight defeats on the road.
Forest have eight matches remaining to try to avoid an immediate return to the Championship, starting at home to Manchester United next Sunday. Cooper insists they cannot afford to lose belief as it remains tight at the bottom of the table.
