No sooner had survival been secured than Nottingham Forest head coach Steve Cooper was turning his attention to what happens next.
There was the sense of relief which came with the final whistle against Arsenal, of course, and jubilant celebrations followed - just as they did when the curtain came down on the season at Crystal Palace. But Cooper isn’t one to dwell on what has passed for too long.
In his post-match press conference after beating the Gunners, he spoke of the “opportunity” the Reds have at their feet. Before the trip to Selhurst Park, he stuck to a similar theme when speaking to the media. And again in the press room following full-time of the 1-1 draw.
