Head coach Steve Cooper anticipates a “more normal” transfer window for Nottingham Forest this year.
Twelve months ago, a record-breaking summer saw the Reds make 22 signings in preparation for the step up to the Premier League. A further seven came through the doors in January.
Such an overhaul came with its own challenges as it took time for the squad to gel and for Cooper to find his best team. But the sense of unity which developed was a key factor in Forest avoiding the drop.
