Nottingham Forest urgently need an upturn in fortunes after dropping into the bottom three on the back of nine games without a win.
Owner Evangelos Marinakis demanded an immediate improvement in results and performances when he backed head coach Steve Cooper last week. The Reds did play better against Aston Villa last time out, but they still fell to a 2-0 defeat.
The challenges do not get any easier, with Manchester United visiting the City Ground on Sunday. And to add to Cooper’s woes, Forest continue to be hit hard by injuries.
