Head coach Steve Cooper says he pays no attention to critics who have already tipped Nottingham Forest for an immediate return to the Championship.
Plenty of pundits have piled in amid the Reds’ difficult start to life back in the Premier League. And last weekend’s 5-0 rout at Arsenal provided more fuel for those predicting this season will end in relegation.
Ahead of taking on Brentford at the City Ground this afternoon, Forest are bottom of the table with nine points. However, in a tight division, they are still within touching distance of those above them, with a three-point gap to 17th-placed Southampton.
