Tweaking formation might be a consideration for boss Steve Cooper to accommodate Nottingham Forest’s wealth of attacking talent.
Strengthening at the top end of the pitch was always going to be a priority for the Reds this summer, following promotion to the Premier League. And amid a busy window, Cooper now has a number of options. The challenge is deciding who plays.
Striker Emmanuel Dennis made his debut when he started Tuesday night’s Carabao Cup victory over Grimsby Town, while Morgan Gibbs-White had made his first appearance from off the bench at Everton on Saturday. Jesse Lingard and Taiwo Awoniyi had linked up with Forest earlier in the summer, and Brennan Johnson and Sam Surridge remain key figures in the squad after being integral to last term’s success.
