Season details

Your decisions

Fictional club events from this simulated season.

MD 12 · A banner before kick-off
Finish the warm-up first. Cooper keeps the warm-up on schedule. Chris Cohen thanks the supporters after the whistle instead.
Next 3 matches: fewer distractions tighten the defence, though Forest create slightly less.
MD 32 · The playlist veto
Rotate the DJ. Cooper rotates the DJ. Costel Pantilimon gets a week off and Lewis Grabban gets a new playlist.
Next 3 matches: a dressing-room lift creates more chances, with a little less defensive focus.
MD 46 · The night-before dinner divides the squad
Stick to the planned match meal. Cooper sticks to the match meal. Joe Worrall keeps the routine; Michael Mancienne is promised a curry if Forest reach Wembley.
Second leg: calmer heads and fewer mistakes, but a slower start.
