Steve Cooper admits it will take time to work out his best Nottingham Forest team following a summer shopping spree.
He is clear the challenges which come with trying to get a new-look group to gel shouldn't be an obstacle to playing well and picking up results in the meantime, though, and that starts with trying to get back to winning ways against Fulham this evening.
Free agent Serge Aurier became the Reds’ 22nd new addition when he put pen to paper last week. He will not be available to face the Cottagers as he continues to await visa clearance, but the XI which does line up at the City Ground will still be substantially different to the one which triumphed 1-0 at Craven Cottage in April.
