Head coach Steve Cooper admits he can sometimes be left feeling a little embarrassed when Nottingham Forest’s results do not match the show of support they receive from fans.

A 10-match winless run sees Forest in the relegation zone as they head to Liverpool this afternoon. And the Reds boss is doing what he can to ensure the players know who and what they are fighting for.
