Nottingham Forest supporters have had their relegation fears heightened after defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds fell to a 2-0 defeat at Villa Park, with goals from Bertrand Traore and Ollie Watkins securing all three points for the hosts. There are now concerns over Steve Cooper's future at the City Ground.

Supporters have been discussing their thoughts on the latest Reds display, and what the immediate future could hold for their team. Below is a look at what they've been saying.

@davinabhakta : Every other team down there played a striker that won today, how do we expect to score when we never play one and why has Surridge been totally frozen out.

@NFFC182 : Being back in the Premier League has been incredible, and surreal at times. Unfortunately after today, it looks like it’s over.

@foxphysique : I love the Prem, every game means something. I don’t want to go back down it’s not a given we come straight back up. Tactically we need to improve and not rely on purely low block and counter attack. Cooper looks lost, take a gamble and get someone in like Leeds have.

@halftimepies : Steve Steve Steve, I love you man but please don’t mention we had loads of corners etc lol, that’s the best time for #nffc fans to go and get a beer or toilet break game in game out.

@NFFCFOREVER3 : He didn't bring a striker on till the 65th minute. You can't expect to score goals and win games without a striker we are not Man City.

@laurence_salmon : 2 things frustrating me about #nffc the most include the lack of proven EPL players signed pre season and the shocking number of injuries, real microscope needs putting on either the recruitment team, or the fitness staff or both.

@Deeler16 : Huge conundrum EM. Twist to try and save us or Think we’re as good as down barring any miracle. Who is going to be best person for the job to get us back up. We were never happy before Sabri, there will be life after Cooper, albeit different. Winning will galvanise whoever.
