Boss Steve Cooper says he is still in the process of building an identity with his new-look Nottingham Forest squad.
The medium to long-term goal is to establish a way of playing which can yield results - in much the same way as the Reds did on their way to promotion under Cooper last season. But in the short-term, the Welshman acknowledges there is a focus on trying to spark an upturn in fortunes while a raft of summer signings continue to gel.
In their last two games, Forest have switched to a four-man defence. Monday night’s 1-1 draw with Aston Villa also saw Cooper pack the midfield in a bid to tighten things up. He doesn’t necessarily want to be wedded to one particular formation, however.
