Brennan Johnson has opened up about signing a new Nottingham Forest contract in the summer and the reason behind his recent upturn in form.
The forward fired in 18 goals to help propel the Reds to promotion but his form appeared to stutter in the early weeks of the season as his performances mirrored Steve Cooper ’s new-look side, scoring twice in his first 17 appearances. Forest's rocky run of form was typified by dramatic defeats to Bournemouth and Fulham.
However, the growing pains quietly eased for Forest, who have now lost just three of their last 12 league games, pushing the team to 14th in the table. Johnson has also enjoyed a revival of his own, registering five goal contributions in as many games, but admitted he may have been daunted by the challenge in the summer.
