Head coach Steve Cooper hopes Nottingham Forest are building momentum at the right time as the season’s end approaches.
Three points against Southampton amid an electric atmosphere at the City Ground lifted the Reds out of the relegation zone. Monday night’s dramatic 4-3 victory saw them jump to 16th spot, three points clear of the bottom three with three games to go.
It was the perfect way to bounce back from a disappointing defeat at Brentford, when Forest let a lead slip and conceded twice in the final 10 minutes to lose 2-1. And with a trip to Chelsea next up, Cooper believes maintaining good performance levels will be key to beating the drop.
