Nottingham Forest eased into the third round of the Carabao Cup as they beat Grimsby Town 3-0 at Blundell Park.
Although boss Steve Cooper had changed his entire starting XI, he still named a strong line-up against the Mariners. And a comfortable first half saw his team 2-0 up at the break.
Forest could have been ahead with just five minutes on the clock. An inviting cross from Alex Mighten found Emmanuel Dennis in the box, but the front man could only fire wide.
