Nottingham Forest fans have aired their frustrations after being told that Steve Cook cannot be registered for their squad.
The central defender had been left out of the 25-man squad but manager Steve Cooper was optimistic that the club could integrate him back into the fold through an appeal to the Premier League. However, that appeal has been rejected and Forest fans on social media are not surprised.
Here is what they had to say:
@TrickyLMC: The club seemed very confident this was a normal procedure that’s within the rules so I don’t understand what’s happened. We are going to have to rush Nik back now.
@Daryl_Porter: Cooper seemed confident that under the rules it would be allowed, so what went wrong?
@NateButNo1: Situation feels similar to last season when Cook and McKenna got injured.

@JustinHeaton72: Only right really. Everyone would do it otherwise and make the 25 man squad irrelevant.
@RobertR31279978: I bet if it had been one of the top 4 or 5 teams it would have been allowed.
@GABBITAS66: Correct decision, rules are there for a reason even if this will hurt us on this occasion.
@DamndSMC: Why was Cooper so sure it would be accepted? Looks a bit daft now.
@Wayno19821: Should have never been dropped from the 25 man squad. Knowing players are injured and made of biscuit.
@alexwest88: Sign 40 players and want to register more. Shambles.
@Moyesie3: Pointless asking...
