Forest boss Cooper not thinking Wolves clash will decide job

Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper remains confident in his job.

Cooper was speaking today in his press preview for Saturday's clash with Wolves.

Asked if the Wolves game is a must-win for his job, Cooper said: "I don't think like that. That is not a good way to think, it is like saying to a player 'you have to play well or you will not play again' - it is not a thought process I believe in using.

"We are disappointed with results and last night's performance.

"More than ever you have to show belief and character and what you stand for.

"There is going to be questions and stories, I respect that as it is the life of a football manager.

"At the same time you have to stay honed in on your day's work and if I let anything else creep in I am not giving 100% to the job and that is what I want to do.

"We are a collective, but it is the supporters getting let down. But it starts from me."
