Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper admits the “unique situation” of overseeing a new-look group is proving a tough challenge.
The Welshman’s job is on the line after a run of five straight defeats, with Monday night’s 4-0 collapse at Leicester City leaving the Reds bottom of the Premier League table. Eighteen goals have been shipped during those games, including two in the space of two minutes at the King Power Stadium.
A summer shopping spree saw 22 players signed during the transfer window, and getting them to gel is proving a thankless task. Forest lack cohesion on the pitch, while Cooper is still yet to settle upon his best team.
