Tactics Steve Cooper 5-2-1-2 (Nottingham Forest)

[MarkD]

Hey guys, I am a big Nottingham Forest fan and I have been trying to create a tactic something like what Steve Cooper has done at the mighty reds for a long time now, i feel like ive got quite close

Im not saying its a world beater, it wont get you 5 goals every game, but it has won me the Championship and the Carabao Cup in season one....

here are the results throughout the season, pretty easy cup run really....

 

and here is the tactic..

having a good corner routine will help too, so use whichever one you think is best

any questions then feel free to ask and i will answer them to the best of my ability (which isnt great)

have fun

SK as sweeper keeper

all CBs as ball playing defender

WBs as wingbacks

DLP as roaming playmaker

BWM as ball winning midfielder

AP as trequartista

IFs as inside forwards

thing is, in my opinion, surridge and johnson played more like wide strikers, thats why i put them as inside forwards, starting wide and cutting in, plus WBs/DWs was depending on the opponents, again thats just my opinion on it though

You’re right, but that’s one of the reasons I chose a CF and a T, because of the movement and creative side, plus it got me more goals!
