Steve Cooper dismissed fears about losing his job as pressure mounts on the Nottingham Forest boss.<\/p>\n

Forest were hammered 5-0 at Fulham on Wednesday \u2013 a fourth straight Premier League defeat \u2013 which left them six points above the drop zone.<\/p>\n

The former Swansea manager accepts his position will be under scrutiny \u2013 with former Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui thought to be a serious contender if he leaves \u2013 but ahead of Saturday\u2019s trip to Molineux Cooper insisted he cannot consider the sack.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI don\u2019t think like that. That is not a good way to think, it is like saying to a player \u2018you have to play well or you will not play again\u2019 \u2013 it is not a thought process I believe in using.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are disappointed with results and last night\u2019s performance. More than ever you have to show belief and character and what you stand for.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are going to be questions and stories, I respect that as it is the life of a football manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time you have to stay honed in on your day\u2019s work and if I let anything else creep in I am not giving 100 per cent to the job and that is what I want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

We are disappointed with results and last night’s performance. More than ever you have to show belief and character and what you stand for<\/p>\n

Cooper, who took Forest back to the Premier League for the first time in 23 years in 2022, said after the hammering at Craven Cottage that he did not deserve the backing from the fans he received as he left the pitch.<\/p>\n

He he also refused to blame his players for their showing on Wednesday after doubles from Alex Iwobi, Raul Jimenez and a Tom Cairney strike sunk the visitors.<\/p>\n

Cooper told a press conference: \u201cI would never split myself from the players. We are a collective, it\u2019s not about me getting let down, it\u2019s the supporters who were let down by all of us \u2013 and that starts with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
