Nottingham Forest fans love Steve Cooper’s ‘correct decision’ ahead of Luton Town clash

Nottingham Forest fans have given their reaction to the lineup named by Steve Cooper ahead of the Championship clash against Luton Town.

The Reds boss has opted to move Jack Colback to the left-back position that was vacant due to Max Lowe’s injury.

That means that Braian Ojeda comes into the centre of the park for his first start for the club since arriving in the summer.

Another change sees Lyle Taylor come in for Lewis Grabban up front with Taylor dropping to the bench.

Forest go into the game looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Championship to five games, having drawn 1-1 against Reading in their last outing at the weekend.

Following the announcement of the team, Forest fans have taken to social media to give their reaction.

Here is what just some had to say.

Dave Holmes : Bong at LB would have been playing it safe so happy that Cooper hasn’t gone that way. Garner and Ojeda is a very inexperienced midfield pairing but should be exciting on the ball and giving Grabban a rest makes sense with the game on Friday. #NFFC

Dan : Rate that line up a lot #NFFC

Daniel : Excited to see Ojeda, pleased with that team. Correct decision to keep Bong away from the starting 11 #NFFC

Davina : Knew SC wouldn’t play Bong, excited to see Ojeda play, come on you reds #NFFC

Jonno : Colback will be a lot more suited to an out and out full back rather than a wing back so it's the right call imo #NFFC

Jake : Extremely intrigued by how Ojeda will get on. Everything I’ve seen tells me he’s up to scratch technically but the pace of the championship can be a different beast for some players. Let’s see #nffc
