Nottingham Forest have been told that they are in 'big trouble' after the Reds poor away form continued at the weekend in a 3-1 defeat at Tottenham.
Steve Cooper's team have won just once away from home in the Premier League all season - a 1-0 win at Southampton in January. The Reds have also only scored four times on their travels during the current league campaign.
The poor away form is in stark contrast to Forest's impressive home form, with the Reds last tasting defeat at the City Ground in a 3-2 loss against Fulham in mid-September. But BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton has said Forest will be flirting with relegation unless they solve their away day woes.

Speaking to BBC Radio Five Live's Monday Night Club, he said: "With Nottingham Forest, I think they are in big trouble. Their away form, they've scored four goals away all season. That is trouble.
"They are absolutely bang in trouble Nottingham Forest and I think at the start of the season we all thought if they can stay up by the skin of their teeth they can build but their home form has carried them through and they certainly need to improve."
Forest are next in action on Friday against Newcastle United at the City Ground. Their next away game is at Leeds after the international break.
