Latest Nottingham Forest news as Steve Cooper's Reds prepare for Premier League clash with Aston Villa
Injuries may be hampering player availability at present, but the task boss Steve Cooper faces of keeping his Nottingham Forest squad happy never changes.
It means Cooper can be left with big decisions to make and has to set out to some members of the group why they have not been picked, but it is all with the aim of trying to drive standards. And as Forest saw last season, maintaining a sense of unity is crucial. “You have to constantly realise that there is always going to be an element of the group who are probably not in the best place because they might not have played in the last game or feel like they will play in the next game. If you think that’s not the case then you are getting it wrong. I accept that, like every other manager will as well.
“It doesn’t mean we always have to agree, and often we won’t. But at least we can disagree in a respectful way and in a way we all think is right for the team and the greater good of the club. That’s just how it will always be. Even for those who aren’t getting on the pitch, Cooper ensures they have a tailored programme in place. Individual chats are just as important as team meetings for the Welshman. He explains, if anything, the coaching staff work harder with the players who are missing out on selection.
