Wembley heroes

Your decisions

Fictional club events from this simulated season.

1. MD 12 · Board calls for a bolder Forest
   Keep the shape compact. Cooper keeps the defensive shape. Daryl Michael Murphy will have to wait for better moments to break forward.
   Next 3 matches: tighter defence, less attacking threat.

2. MD 23 · A very bad Derby-night idea
   Ask for a club-approved fan send-off. Cooper bans the hotel stunt. The club arranges a safe fan send-off instead; J. Williams and J. Worrall get back to preparing for Derby.
   Next 3 matches: a dressing-room lift creates more chances, with a little less defensive focus.

3. MD 46 · A quote on the back page
   Back the player publicly. Cooper backs J. Colback in front of the cameras. L. Grabban stands beside him, though the attention follows them into leg two.
   Second leg: a lift in confidence, with some risk of losing focus.

4. MD 46 · One last training session
   Keep Wembley tight. Cooper asks L. Grabban to keep the side compact against Watford. Forest concede fewer openings, but must take their chances.
   Wembley: fewer chances conceded, but fewer Forest chances too.
