Steve Cooper has ensured fans his Nottingham Forest side will be ready for another "tough" match when they take on Bournemouth on Friday night.
The Reds will be keen to continue chasing the play-offs, currently just two points off Middlesbrough, who sit in sixth place.
After sharing the spoils in a 2-2 draw to Stoke City at the City Ground last time out, it meant that they dropped just outside of the top six.
