Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper rang the changes for Monday night’s 1-1 draw with Aston Villa - and his decisions paid off with an improved performance.
But while the Reds stopped the rot as they picked up a point at the City Ground, the performance leaves head coach Cooper with a dilemma over whether to stick with that line-up - and formation - against Wolverhampton Wanderers this afternoon (3pm kick-off).
Neco Williams, Renan Lodi, Lewis O’Brien, Jesse Lingard and Taiwo Awoniyi all dropped out of the side as Cooper sought a response to a dismal display in the 4-0 thumping at Leicester City which had made it five defeats in a row. Serge Aurier, Harry Toffolo, Ryan Yates, Remo Freuler and Emmanuel Dennis will hope they did enough against Villa to keep their places at Molineux.
