Head coach Steve Cooper has told his Nottingham Forest players not to forget the approach which booked their spot at Wembley in the first place, as they target promotion.
The Reds have the Premier League in their sights as they prepare to take on Huddersfield Town in the Championship play-offs final on Sunday (4.30pm kick-off). They are 90 minutes away from ending the club’s 23-year exile from the top-flight.
And having gone from rock-bottom when he came in, to a fourth-placed finish in the table, Cooper doesn’t want to change anything now. He wants Forest to stick with the identity which has taken them this far.

“If there was one way of playing well and winning at Wembley, we’d all be doing it. But unfortunately nobody has found that way yet,” said the Reds boss.
“What I do know is, we are the club and the team that we are. We are very proud of it and we believe in what we’re doing, so let’s take it to Wembley and try to do our thing.
“We are at this final, in this magnificent stadium, in this high-pressured game because we have done things a certain way. We have to continue as much as we can with that, while understanding the context of the game.
“But it’s really important for the players to realise we are in this position because of doing what we’ve done, and that’s committing to a way of playing and a way of working. Let’s try to be the best version of that possible, because that will give us the best chance of winning.
“The mood in training has been really good. We’ve stuck to the schedule we planned a while ago, and we’ve stuck to the work-load.
“You’re always tweaking some stuff from a day to day basis - that’s just normal operational stuff. But there’s been no real surprises for the players.
“Within that, there’s been a really positive attitude and atmosphere. But also very focused.
“Training has been at a good level and they’ve been really engaged, which these guys are. It’s very rare I come away from the training pitch thinking, ‘that’s not what it should have been’, so there’s been nothing new there.
“We’re just really excited about what it takes to do well at Wembley. But we go there very confident. We go there full of belief. Let’s take that on to the pitch.”
