New signings make impression on Millwall defender
Forward Nisbet joined from Hibernian for an undisclosed fee and Bryan from Fulham on a free transfer.
Cooper spoke to NewsAtDen early last week, before the death of Lions owner John Berylson.
Both Nesbit and Bryan have made positive impacts. 
“Kevin seems great,” Cooper said. “He’s an energetic forward player, he’s good on the ball, he’s a good finisher. Hopefully he’ll add a lot to the side.
“Him and Bradders [Tom Bradshaw] could work well together with Zian [Flemming], George Honeyman and Duncan Watmore that we’ve got up there and the other attacking players that we’ve got.
“He’s settled in really well so far and I’m looking forward to seeing more of him as pre-season goes forward.
“I’ve played against Joe a few times and obviously everyone knows his calibre here in the Championship.
“He’s a great signing for the club. He seems like a great guy as well, his personality is really good for the dressing room. I’m sure he’s going to fit in nicely and do really well for us.
“It’s exciting again just to see more of him and play alongside him. We’re enjoying being with the new

GEORGE Honeyman is set to miss the beginning of the season after picking up an injury against Gillingham.
The Lions won 2-0 against the League Two side in their opening pre-season friendly but the victory came at a cost.
The midfielder suffered a grade three quad tear and could now be out until September.
Manager Gary Rowett told News At Den: “I’m disappointed George will miss a period especially around this important time of pre-season.
“[Losing] his character and ability to play different positions will be a blow but hopefully he will make a good recovery.”
The first game he will miss is tomorrow’s trip to Sutton.

Gillingham boss Neil Harris has said that trialist Scott Malone has been attracting interest from the Championship following his exit from Millwall.
The left-back has been training with Gillingham over recent times as he looks to keep up his fitness levels.
Malone, 32, cut ties with Millwall at the end of last season and is now weighing up his next move in the game as a free agent.
Harris has provided this update on the player’s situation, as per a report by KentOnline: “Scott is a player we really like, a top player, but he is attracting a lot of interest from Championship clubs. Scott came to Como with us and rightly so, brilliant for him and great for us, but it wasn’t right for him to be involved against his old team. Moving forward, just watch this space. There’s no pressure on Scottie with us.”
Ex-Millwall man weighing up options
Malone has a big decision to make on his future and the fact that second tier teams are keen mean Gillingham will face a battle to snap him up permanently after his trial spell. He went away with the League Two side to Como recently.
Millwall opted against extending his stay at the end of last month. The Lions missed out on the play-offs on the final day of the last campaign.
Malone re-joined the London club in 2021, having previously had a spell at The Den from 2012 to 2014, and went on to make 189 appearances for them across his his two stints, chipping in with 14 goals and 17 assists.
He is a vastly experienced player in the Football League and has also played for the likes of Burton Albion, Cardiff City, AFC Bournemouth, Fulham and Derby County in the past.
The full-back is a decent option for teams in the Championship who still need a player in his position and is a proven performer at that level.
