Morgan Gibbs-White, the outstanding player for Nottingham Forest, has now publicly backed Steve Cooper as the man who can turn the team’s fortunes around.
Cooper has faced criticism over the previous week, and the head coach’s job was in jeopardy following last Wednesday’s 5-0 thumping of Fulham.
Evangelos Marinakis was so disappointed with that performance that he threw his matchday pass into a shrub outside Craven Cottage.
Despite Cooper’s seven changes, the owner continued to support the head coach for the 1-1 draw with the Wolves.
Gibbs-White desires that Cooper remain.
This term, Gibbs-White has led Forest on a few occasions, and he has since talked about the goalkeeper. He still believes he is the best candidate for the position.
“He means the world to me and for what he’s done for the club and the city in general, I don’t think anyone could have done that,” Gibbs-White stated earlier today (12/12; 11:50) on TalkSPORT. He seems like the ideal candidate for this position. It was a good response on Saturday.
On Friday night, Forest plays Tottenham at the City Ground, and they rely heavily on Gibbs-White to lead them to victory. The Reds are staring over their shoulder as they have dropped only five points short of the relegation zone.
It’s time for Gibbs-White and his Forest comrades to get moving.
Acts now speak louder than words when it comes to Cooper’s employment at Forest. The players must demonstrate their concern for the boss on Friday by playing for him.
To be fair, they all accomplished that versus Wolves the previous weekend. They fought for each and every ball, and they very likely ought to have defeated Gary O’Neil’s squad in the match.
As a player, Gibbs-White is not shy about his admiration for Forest head coach Cooper. Along with the coach, he won the England under-17 World Cup and usually gives it his all.
Forest and Cooper are in greater need of him right now. His task is to show up on Friday and perform in a way that will make his head coach proud.
