Head coach Steve Cooper says Jesse Lingard alone shouldn’t be in the spotlight amid Nottingham Forest’s tough start to the Premier League season.
The Welshman has stressed that for the Reds’ results and position in the table to improve, a collective effort is required. That involves the whole team putting in a much better performance than against Arsenal last week - Lingard included.
The former Manchester United man has struggled to make an impact since his summer move to the City Ground. His arrival came with plenty of fanfare and a great deal of expectation, but he has been in and out of the team, and is yet to register a goal or an assist in his 11 appearances so far.
