Dean Henderson has claimed Nottingham Forest's vulnerability from shots outside the area is "pathetic" after conceding another goal from long distance against Aston Villa.
Steve Cooper's side have now conceded seven goals from outside the penalty area in their opening nine games of the Premier League season, with the latest arriving from 37-year-old Ashley Young during Forest's 1-1 draw with Villa on Monday.
Heading into today's clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux, Reds keeper Henderson has opened up on the "pathetic" statistic that has blighted Forest's Premier League return. "It's probably avoidable," Henderson, who is on loan from Manchester United, told Football Daily in the build-up to the Wolves clash (3pm kick-off).

"Whether it's giving the ball away on the edge of the box or people turning their back when blocking, it's the fundamentals of defending.
"I could maybe save a couple of them, who knows. Of course we're working on it all the time, and I take it personally. It's my responsibility, I look in the mirror every day and I'm like, 'How have I gone from conceding next to none in the last Premier League season I had, to seven'? It's pathetic.
"For sure I take it personally, I always look at myself first and hopefully we can stop that happening soon."
