Ahead of the game against Blackpool, Forest fans have given their thoughts on the possible team that Cooper could choose . Taking to NottinghamshireLive’s Facebook page , they have highlighted a possible formation change that they would like to see.

: I really hope we don't go back to that 4-2-1-2-1 formation, it cost our last two managers their jobs.

: we have mbe soh who can play centre back we know as fans to release Johnson we gotta have Spence the freedom to attack and with 2 centre backs it don't happen so play 3 centre backs and let Spence and Johnson do what they do best on the wing. Cause Johnson needs Spence and other way round

: 3 at the back for me cafu in?

: Need to go back to a back 3,4 at the back nullifies Spence

: I like the three at the back with two attacking wing backs! Clearly Soh and Laryea aren't up to it.
