Richard Keys' Nottingham Forest statement slammed after Leeds United win

Nottingham Forest fans have reacted to the latest comments from TV presenter Richard Keys following the Reds' 1-0 win over Leeds United.

Brennan Johnson’s first half goal at the City Ground was enough to see Forest take all three points from the game. The win moved them back up into 13th place in the table, six points clear of the bottom three.

Steve Cooper ’s men will look to increase that gap further on Saturday when they take on fellow newly-promoted side Fulham at Craven Cottage. The game gives Forest a chance to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to six games.

Writing in his latest blog , Keys stated that he had been proven right about the Reds following their win over Leeds. “Well done Steve Cooper," he wrote. “Forest are edging to safety.

“I always said I thought they’d get enough points at home to cling on for another season. I still think they will."

There however has been previous claims from the BeIN presenter earlier in the season suggesting that he thought Forest would get relegated at the end of the campaign. Keys previously said that Forest would ‘have to ‘rebuild from League One.”

The presenter also predicted that manager Steve Cooper would ‘pay the price’ for the summer transfer window following October’s 4-0 loss against Manchester City. Those comments have not been forgotten by Forest fans.

Following his latest claim, Reds fans took to NottinghamshireLive’s Facebook page , Twitter and comments section to have their say. Here’s what just some said.

John Michael Cross : He’s been slating us all season, had us relegated from the start! Not a good word to say about us and now this!! We don’t forget

Stuart Burkitt : Just as well Cooper knows more than this man does

Robert Dakin : Complete contradiction of what he said at the start of the season then

Gemma Ford : Never heard anyone talk someone so much nonsense

Taz : @richardajkeys you have said nothing positive about Forest entire season.

Nick Riley : Poor guy doesn’t realise things written on the internet get saved

Cjp : Sorry but all I’ve ever heard is him slating Forest and giving us no chance. Hilarious this. Don’t think we believe you Ricky.
