Former Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper is determined to win over Leicester City fans after facing criticism during a tense Carabao Cup tie. Despite advancing to the fourth round after a goalless draw against Walsall and a penalty shoot-out victory, over 2,000 traveling supporters voiced their frustration, chanting “Cooper, sort it out!” and even calling the performance “embarrassing.” Acknowledging the criticism, Cooper stressed his commitment to earning the fans’ trust, saying, “I need to build some credit with the supporters and earn the right to do the job… It’s experiences like these that make me even more committed.”
