First-team boss Steve Cooper hopes tonight's FA Youth Cup semi-final can give Nottingham Forest fans a glimpse of the future.
Warren Joyce's Under-18s host Chelsea in a tasty last-four tie at the City Ground (7pm kick-off). And it is hoped a sizeable crowd will be in attendance on the banks of the Trent.
Cooper takes a keen interest in the academy and retains a strong affection for youth football. Following his time working at Liverpool’s academy and managing England at Under-16 and Under-17 level, he knows the different experiences which can be vital in the early stages of a player’s career.
