Boss Steve Cooper says Nottingham Forest’s tweet prior to their clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers was “not a good moment” for the club.
A few hours before Saturday’s match at Molineux, the club’s official Twitter account posted a mock-up picture of Emmanuel Dennis with three wolf pups, alongside the caption “playtime”. It was deleted shortly before kick-off, but not before it had gone viral and been shared in the Wolves players’ group chat.
Interim head coach Steve Davis said it gave the hosts “a bit more of an edge” as they secured a 1-0 win. And they got their own back by tweeting a picture of an axe embedded in a tree at full-time, with the message: “Playtime’s over.”
