Nottingham Forest star sends Roy Keane 'flattering' message after Liverpool tie

Nottingham Forest forward Brennan Johnson has revealed he's been enjoying his football more than ever under head coach Steve Cooper this season.

The 20-year-old has started every single match since Cooper arrived in October and is enjoying a breakout season in the Championship for Forest after adapting seamlessly in the set-up from last season spent on loan in League One at Lincoln City. That is emphasised by Johnson again hitting double digits in terms of goals and is one shy of the 13 scored last season with another month of this campaign remaining.

This form has also led to additional recognition at international level as interim manager Rob Page has utilised the youngster in five of seven matches so far this campaign to take the Nottingham-born Welshman to seven caps in total. Johnson will hope to make that eight on Thursday as they take on Austria in the play-off stage of World Cup qualification.
