Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard says he wouldn’t want to be in the situation Steve Cooper finds himself in at Nottingham Forest.
The two sides meet at the City Ground on Monday night, with Cooper handed a stay of execution after a run of five successive defeats. The Welshman’s job came under threat on the back of this week’s 4-0 thumping at Leicester City, but he is set to be in the dugout against Villa.
Cooper remains under pressure, though. And he needs to quickly find a way of getting a new-look squad to gel, following a summer shopping spree which saw 22 signings made - 23 if young goalkeeper Adnan Kanuric is included.
