In an exclusive interview with Forest star, Chris Cohen, LTLF poses your questions…

How do you explain the run of form up to now?

The run of form of late has been indifferent we know but the performances on a whole have been good we just need too keep the faith im sure the results will come starting with the game against barnsley

Was that Irish jaunt in any way beneficial?

The irish jaunt was beneficial for team bonding and a bit of fitness for some players that hadnt played much although it was a new thing for me to do during the season we really enjoyed it

Many fans have touted you as a potential future captain, do you think you could do the job, and what would you bring to the role?

Captaincy is a thing that has never crossed my mind as of yet im young and still learning my trade and think we have two very very capable captains in brecks and kelvin

What were his expectations for the season before it began, and how different are they now?

I didnt really know what too expect this season and obviously would have thought we would be doing better than we are now and although the performances have merited more points than we have got so far points is all that matters now and we know that is what we need no matter how ugly the performance

Where does he see himself in five years time?

In five years time i see myself being part of a forest championship winning side i know this is seems a long way away especially with the predicament were in at the moment but all i see at forest everyday is potential and forward thinking from the players the staff and the owners and we feel we are an inch away from getting the results we feel we have merited but we have too find that winning formula starting saturday

Who’s the best manager you’ve ever played for?

the best manager i have worked for is kevin keen who was my youth and reserve team manger at west ham he helped me develop so much as a player and i still get advice from him now when i need it!

How high have you set your personal goals in the short term?

My personal goals are to start scoring more frequently and it is something i have been working on in training i have two this year the same as last year but i know that five is a minimum requirement for a midfielder too score in a season i am happy with how i have been playing
and but this is insignificant as the team results are what matter and we haven’t had enough good ones this year

Are you eligible for any other nations, and would you consider them if so?

I am english and have no other nationalities in me
