Steve Cooper played down Nottingham Forest climbing to third in the table after their 2-0 victory over Birmingham City.
The Reds made it five league wins on the spin and 10 unbeaten in the Championship as they eased past the Blues at the City Ground. Goals from Keinan Davis and Scott McKenna rounded off what has been a perfect week for Cooper’s side since returning from the international break.
They are now only six points off second-placed Bournemouth, with a game against the Cherries still to come. The Forest head coach, however, insists his only focus is on keeping a good run going, with a trip to top-six rivals Luton Town to come next Friday.

Asked if other teams will be starting to worry about the Reds’ form, Cooper said: “We’ll see when we play games. We’ve just got to focus on being the best possible version of us for every game that comes our way.
“If we do that, we know we’re a good team. We can play well, dominate and win games. That’s what we need to do.
“We’ve got to understand why it’s gone well and what we’ve done well. Don’t take it for granted, and use it again.
“We know we’re doing some good things. But it’s only good if you keep it going. That’s got to be the aim now.
“We have just got to go to Luton next Friday and not look any further than that. We’ve got a chance now to recharge a little bit, and then we go into another two games in four days.
“We’re looking no further than what is going to be a really tough game at Luton. That’s the only thing we’re in control of now - our recovery, our preparation, and our performance and result against Luton. The rest of it is motivation, that’s all.”
