Steve Cooper to experiment and make key changes amid Nottingham Forest pressure

Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper has told his battling players to expect changes as he bids to stop the rot at the City Ground.

Cooper made a record 22 signings this summer after Forest were promoted via the play-offs. The Reds won their opening game at home to West Ham but are now 19th in the Premier League after failing to win since. Forest lost their fourth successive game to Fulham last Friday after blowing another lead.
