Nottingham Forest legend Frank Clark has backed his former club to turn their fortunes around and maintain their Premier League status.
Ahead of Monday night’s crunch clash against Leicester City, the Reds sit second-bottom in the table, with four points from their first seven games. Their opponents are even worse off, currently propping up the division having collected just one point so far.
Boss Steve Cooper will be out to arrest a four-match losing streak at the King Power Stadium. But while Clark acknowledges the task the Welshman has on his hands following a summer shopping spree which saw 22 signings made - a recruitment drive which has raised eyebrows outside the club - he is convinced results will improve once the head coach gets to know his players better.
