Following yesterday’s 2-2 draw with Luton Town, Steve Cooper, the head coach of Nottingham Forest, expressed his displeasure with Joe Worrall. At the City Ground, the Hatters rallied from a two-goal deficit to steal a point.
Worrall came on shortly after Chris Wood had given Forest the lead with his second goal of the game. With his second goal, the captain didn’t exactly cover himself in glory as Elijah Adebayo bullied him to earn a well-earned equalizer.
Forest’s Premier League standing has dropped to 15th. They have not won three points from their home games against Brentford, Luton, or Burnley, which is not a very good return.
Cooper, the Forest manager, laments Worrall’s second goal.
It has always been Worrall’s vice. He was frequently found wanting in the Championship when he faced big target men, and now he was committing yet another mistake.
If the 26-year-old is to establish himself as a regular in the Premier League squad, he must learn from these mistakes. Cooper knows that too, which is why he doesn’t think of him as a regular member of the squad this year.
Cooper complained bitterly about the second goal after yesterday’s game. “For the second goal, we were not there,” he stated to The Athletic.
Forest is now ranked fifteenth in the Premier League. Their record against Brentford, Luton, and Burnley at home is not great—they have not won three points.
The Forest manager, Cooper, bemoans Worrall’s second goal.
Worrall’s vice, always has been this one. When he faced big target men in the Championship, he was often found wanting, and now he was making another error.
The 26-year-old needs to grow from these errors if he wants to become a regular in the Premier League team. Cooper is aware of this as well, which is why he does not consider himself to be a regular player on the team this season.
After the game yesterday, Cooper expressed his deep displeasure with the second goal. “We weren’t prepared for the second goal.
