Steve Cooper has done a “remarkable job” amid the “madness” at Nottingham Forest but he needs Jesse Lingard to belatedly come good to secure their Premier League status, Jermaine Jenas says.
Forest boss Cooper has seen 30 players arrive since winning promotion last season and has still found a formula to keep the East Midlands club floating just above the bottom three.
Recent results have been a concern, with four defeats and two draws in their past six. And Jenas, who began his career at his hometown club, thinks that summer signing Lingard could remain a trump card having featured only sporadically.
