Nottingham Forest news: Steve Cook on FA Cup semi-final vs Man City

Former defender Steve Cook believes Nottingham Forest will have a “fan advantage” over Manchester City at Wembley in their FA Cup semi-final.

On BBC Radio Nottingham’s Shut Up And Show More Football podcast, he spoke about his experience playing for Forest at Wembley in the 2022 Championship play-off final against Huddersfield Town.

Cook said: “We knew the atmosphere would be leaning in our favour, and I think that will be the same on Sunday.

“The Forest players will know they have a fan advantage and it’s huge. When we walked out it was like a home match, but bigger and better.

“The fans will have a huge part to play. They played a big part in the play-off final. They’ll know because every home match they turn up, and you’ve seen how well the players have responded to it.

“The players in the play-off final knew how much it meant, and the players now will know.”
