Bournemouth boss Iraola: We were preparing for Cooper's Forest, but now...

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola admits Nottingham Forest's change of manager has disrupted their preparations.

Nuno will kickoff his Forest career against the Cherries.

Iraola explained: “It's a difficult situation for us, training wise.

“Because we were at the beginning of the week, we were preparing for Forest, like they were playing with Steve Cooper.

“Now we have to think in other situations that we really don't know because they have a lot of players.

“Nuno has played with a lot of different systems, so we are trying to focus more on ourselves.

“Try to think in ourselves, try to improve the things that we need to improve.

“It will require us to be very quick to react.

“Once we know the lineup, once we see the first minutes, we have to be ready for different scenarios.

"It's not easy, but it's what we have to do this week."
