Steve Cooper asked Nottingham Forest question ahead of Burton pre-season friendly

Nottingham Forest fans have given their reaction to the starting line-up named by Steve Cooper for the pre-season friendly against Burton Albion.

The Reds travel to the Pirelli Stadium for their second pre-season clash of the campaign as they step up their preparations for the 2022/23 Premier League season. Forest lost 3-1 against Championship side Coventry City in their opener on Friday.

Four of Forest’s new summer signings start the game against the Brewers as Cooper makes two changes to his starting XI from the clash against Coventry. Dean Henderson, Giulian Biancone, Moussa Niakhate and Taiwo Awoniyi are all in the line-up.

But new arrivals Omar Richards and Neco Williams are not involved in the squad for the game. There is also an involvement of some players whose future at the City Ground remain in doubt, with Lyle Taylor and Nicholas Ioannou starting.

Ahead of kick off, Forest fans have taken to social media to give their reaction. Here’s what just some had to say.

George NFFC : Interesting line up for tonight #NFFC

Steve Stone’s Millet : Ollie Hammond, love it! Guy is so busy, got it in him to bag a goal too. #NFFC

Liam Henshaw: Good opportunity for Hammond to get some minutes #nffc

Matt : Love the 2nd team (subs)
