Steve Cooper had a very simple message for his Nottingham Forest troops at half-time of Saturday's win over Leicester City, but it had the desired effect.
The game was dead even at the break with neither team able to make the breakthrough. But the Reds were the better side in the second half and went on to win thanks to two goals from Brennan Johnson.
The match winner revealed after the final whistle that Cooper told the team to up their intensity levels, something that gave them the edge over their demoralised East Midlands rivals. Fired up by the team talk, Johnson found the net just ten minutes after the restart, although he admitted he thought he was offside.
