Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper insists he has full confidence in goalkeeper Matt Turner.

Turner was at fault for Liverpool's third goal in last week's defeat.

But ahead of today's clash with Aston Villa, Cooper said: “We have got a decision to make with every position.

“You asked the question because Matt made a mistake for the third goal against Liverpool, which was a real unfortunate one and one that gets highlighted even more because of the type of mistake and the position he plays and the fact it resulted in a goal.

“That's the question, and I appreciate that. It was a mistake for sure, but if we weigh up all of the good things Matt has done compared to mistakes for goals, then the positives completely outweigh the negatives. Matt has held his hands up for the mistake because he is that type of guy.

“It wasn't the only mistake on the day. There were mistakes made the week before and there will be mistakes made in the future because that's just what we all do - we do good things and we make mistakes as well.

“But we, and he, will grow from that and get better. And we want to be a team and a coaching staff that when people make mistakes, we support each other and not criticise too much and isolate people. We want to bring people closer together, because everyone is going to make mistakes.
