Manager has had to deal with injuries, a points deduction and VAR controversies but Forest’s future is still in their hands
“What Steve did here was huge … we are trying to improve this legacy, which is amazing,” Nuno Espírito Santo said when he was appointed as Steve Cooper’s successor. At that point Forest were 17th; 18 matches and 16 points later, they are in the same position but with added peril.
Nuno has three games to save Nottingham Forest, starting with a trip to Bramall Lane on Saturday. Victory is a must against Sheffield United, the worst team in the Premier League, to avoid wasting Cooper’s platform and further damaging his own reputation.
