Nottingham Forest Q&A: Your questions answered as Reds return for crucial promotion push

Nottingham Forest are heading towards the final countdown. Ten games left in which to secure a top-six finish.

Steve Cooper’s side are back in action after the international break as they make the trip to Blackpool this weekend. And they will be aiming to finish the season in style.

Ahead of the Championship run-in, Reds reporter Sarah Clapson answered fans’ questions and responded to comments on our Forest Facebook page. Here’s how it played out.

I’m sure he will be buzzing after helping Canada qualify for the World Cup. He’s had a really good international break.

Whether he will get a chance as soon as he comes back to Forest, however, I’m not so sure. He’ll certainly have given the manager food for thought with his performances, though - and that’s all he can keep doing.

Cooper has generally stuck with the same group of players, even if that means using the likes of Jack Colback in a different position. And when Djed Spence and Max Lowe are both available, there’s been no unseating them.

It would be good to see Laryea get a few minutes at some point, to see what he’s about. But at this stage of the season, when there’s so much at stake, it would be a big call to include him in the starting XI, given he has no experience of English football.

Forest have built up momentum with the players they’ve utilised. So if Laryea does have a part to play in these final games, initially at least, it will most likely be as a substitute.

The manager has been vindicated in his selection decisions so far, so you have to trust his judgement. He’s picking the team and the bench he thinks can get a result. More often than not, he’s got it right.

He’ll know when he thinks is the right time to give Laryea or Braian Ojeda or Loic Mbe Soh or
