Nottingham Forest warned "ridiculous" mistake gives rivals advantage in relegation battle

Tony Cottee has blasted Nottingham Forest's transfer strategy and believes Steve Cooper's side will be bang in trouble due to signing "too many players".

The Reds, who have won just one of their opening seven Premier League fixtures, travel to rock bottom Leicester City on Monday night, with Cooper's side just one place above their opponents in the table. Forest's only win came in their opening home game against West Ham and have since been beaten by fellow newly-promoted sides Bournemouth and Fulham at The City Ground.

Cooper has come under severe pressure given the Reds spent almost £150m in the summer, bringing in 23 new players in the process. Subsequently, Cooper is yet to name an unchanged side so far, with Forest making the most changes out of any team in the Premier League this season.
