Former Nottingham Forest winger Joe Lolley hopes Steve Cooper is given time to turn things around at the club after a difficult start to their Premier League return.
Cooper has found himself under heavy pressure in the last week after the Reds' 4-0 defeat to East Midland rivals Leicester City on Monday. The defeat left Forest bottom of the Premier League with four points after eight games.
Following a board meeting on Wednesday, it was agreed that Cooper would remain in charge for this weekend's clash at home to Aston Villa, but his longer-term future is still in doubt.

Despite Cooper remaining in charge, there have been changes within the club's behind-the-scenes. Former Watford technical director Filippo Giraldi has been appointed as sporting director, while chief executive Dane Murphy reportedly faces the axe.
Fans are seemingly firmly behind Cooper and former Reds attacker Lolley - who now plays for Sydney FC - has called for "stability" at the City Ground.
"I think stability would be pretty important now," he told the Australian media.
"If you go back to hiring somebody else, working with loads of new players again and going back to the start. It's always going to take time when you bring in that many players.
"I'm sure he needs time to develop the squad, work out his best team and the way forward. Hopefully he's given time and he gets that time."
