Head coach Steve Cooper believes encouraging his Nottingham Forest players to express their views can be a “powerful” tool in his team’s promotion push.
And midfielder Jack Colback is among those whose voice carries particular weight, because of the experience he can draw upon. Such know-how and nous could prove vital in the final weeks of the season.
Colback has gone from struggling to get a look-in under former boss Chris Hughton to being almost an ever-present under Cooper. His ability to fill in at left wing-back has been crucial as the Reds again find themselves without Max Lowe due to injury.
