Roy Keane believes Nottingham Forest will essentially be 'relegated by Christmas' if they don't quickly turn around their Premier League fortunes.
There had been big hopes for Forest on their return to the top flight following a 23-year exile, though they sit 19th in the league, with just one win out of their opening nine games.
Forest were held to a 1-1 draw on Monday night, after Ashley Young cancelled out Emmanuel Dennis' opener.
Keane told Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, that he had 'sympathy' for Steve Cooper due to his former side bringing in 23 new players over the summer.
