Head coach Steve Cooper has made it a priority to maintain the team spirit which was at the heart of Nottingham Forest’s promotion success last season.
It will be a much-changed Reds side which travels to Newcastle United for their opening game of the Premier League campaign next month. Six signings have already been made, with more to follow, while a number of players have departed.
However, Cooper has stressed the need for bringing in the right characters, as much as the right quality. And he is determined to once again create a dressing room with the same level of togetherness which proved so effective on the way to reaching the top-flight.
