Steve Cooper concedes Nottingham Forest are doing 'NOWHERE near' as well as hoped after promotion to the Premier League... and is targeting two wins from two before the World Cup

Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper admits his side have done 'nowhere near' as well as hoped following their return to the Premier League.

Forest have endured a tough start to life back in the top flight and currently sit bottom of the table heading into two potentially season-defining home games against Brentford and Crystal Palace before the World Cup.

They have had some hammerings along the way, losing 6-0 at Manchester City and 5-0 at Arsenal, but the 1-0 win over Liverpool gave them hope they could avoid an instant return to the Championship.
