Taylor and Mighten were both keen to respond to the defender’s post and reflect upon how the defender’s return to Forest had gone.

The verdict

Given Lawrence-Gabriel’s potential, you can not help think that Cooper might well have wanted to still have the defender within his squad rather than have allowed to let him leave as Hughton did during the summer.

The full-back was a strong performer for Blackpool on his return to Forest and he showed a lot of the qualities that the Reds will be well aware that he has to bring to the table.

It seems that Taylor and Mighten certainly got on well with the defender and they were keen to both respond to his post, with Taylor, in particular, poking a bit of fun at him following the result.

That shows that Lawrence-Gabriel was the right sort of presence to have in and around the training ground at the City Ground.

Most people connected with the Reds will, therefore, be keen to wish him well with his development at Blackpool.
