Before his interrogator could even finish his question, Steve Cooper, the head coach of Nottingham Forest, answered.

“You need to inhale deeply and consider our overall performance,” he advised. “Our current situation is vastly superior to where we were a year ago and unquestionably superior to where we were two years ago.
“And when you think like that, you realize that the club is actually improving overall. That is something we must never forget.
“We expect to win every game we play, and we will be let down if we don’t.” It’s important to remember that our club still has a long way to go before we can truly compete at this level; twelve months isn’t long enough.
The exciting part is that we are actually giving it a shot. As a team and club, we are aware that we still have a long way to go. That’s the reason we’re here. We have been taking it on head-on for the past two years, but it’s made even more exciting by the fact that it’s a club with such a great history and support system. A remarkable couple of years has passed.
