Steve Cooper sent Nottingham Forest instruction after training image

Nottingham Forest fans would like to see some changes in the backline for the Premier League clash against Aston Villa on Monday night.

The Reds fell to a 4-0 defeat against Leicester City this week, meaning that they have conceded 18 goals in their last five games in what has been a disappointing run of results. Steve Cooper did try to rectify the problem at the King Power Stadium by going from his usual three-at-the-back to a back four with Steve Cook partnering Scott McKenna in the middle of defence, meaning that Willy Boly dropped down to the bench.

That, however, didn’t work with Forest finding themselves 3-0 down before the half-time break. It is still to be seen if the Reds boss returns to the three at the back formation or sticks with the four.
