Boss Steve Cooper wanted to maintain Nottingham Forest’s “momentum” as he stuck with Brice Samba in goal against Coventry City.
The Reds went fifth in the table with Wednesday night’s 2-0 win at the City Ground. But prior to the clash with the Sky Blues, Cooper admitted he had a decision to make about who should start between the posts.
Ethan Horvath had held down his place in the run-up to the international break, having impressed when given his chance while Brice Samba was suspended. A quick turnaround between the American returning from duty with his country and Saturday’s trip to Blackpool, though, saw him on the bench at Bloomfield Road.
