Nottingham Forest fans have given their reaction to the starting line-up named by Steve Cooper for the pre-season friendly against Burton Albion.
The Reds travel to the Pirelli Stadium for their second pre-season clash of the campaign as they step up their preparations for the 2022/23 Premier League season. Forest lost 3-1 against Championship side Coventry City in their opener on Friday.
Four of Forest’s new summer signings start the game against the Brewers as Cooper makes two changes to his starting XI from the clash against Coventry. Dean Henderson, Giulian Biancone, Moussa Niakhate and Taiwo Awoniyi are all in the line-up.
