Cooper has Forest on the cusp of ending 23 years of hurt - but the club need to respond in kind by making sure he sticks around.

And maybe it is also for the chap in a Derby shirt who was in the Ipswich end that day and, football being the sport of schadenfreude, had snuck in because he wanted to see Forest’s relegation close-up. He calls it a “special club” and a “magical place”. You can see from the way he looks around him, for every pre-match rendition of Mull of Kintyre, that these are not empty words. It is for everyone who ran on the pitch after Forest had beaten Ipswich on the last of the 2016-17 season because it saved the club from dropping back into League One. Yes: a pitch invasion to celebrate finishing 20th. He needs to make this a long-term arrangement. I want more of that feeling from what should always be remembered as the Samba Semi (copyright: my mate Simon). I want to lose the plot more often. Evangelos Marinakis, the club’s owner, has to do everything he can to make sure that does not happen. Notting Hill was at the cinema. “Now, however, it feels like a tremendous positive force that continues to drive us on.” Did we all exist in some kind of weird parallel universe when it looked like Forest’s only realistic ambition at the time of Cooper’s appointment was to avoid being dragged further into the relegation quicksands? Since he returned to the side against Blackpool in April, he has played with much more focus. Samba served a three-match suspension and remained out of the team for another four games. He turned to head down the tunnel and, amid all the bedlam and noise and sheer wonder, one guy was leaning over the perimeter wall.
