Nottingham Forest star Brennan Johnson says it is time for the "real stuff" as the Reds prepare for a Championship play-off semi-final clash with Sheffield United.
The Reds booked their place in the extended league campaign a number of games ago but had to wait until the final day to confirm their final Championship standing and play-off opposition.
Forest had the opportunity to claim third place had they have held onto their stoppage time lead at Hull City, but a late Keane Lewis-Potter goal means the Reds finished fourth and head to Bramall Lane on Saturday for the first leg.

United set up a mouth-watering semi-final against Steve Cooper 's side following a 4-0 demolition of Championship title winners Fulham at Bramall Lane. A quick-fire 15 minutes saw Morgan Gibbs-White, Iliman Ndiaye and Sander Berge all find the net for the Blades, before Enda Stevens added to the hosts' tally after the break.
The young attacker has drawn plenty of praise for his stellar performances this season, although it seems his focus is firmly on helping Forest achieve promotion to the Premier League.
Shortly after the Reds' 1-1 draw in Yorkshire, Johnson took to social media and posted a short message saying "Season done! Onto the real stuff" on his Instagram account.
Johnson has been a key part of Cooper's squad and his brilliant form has been imperative to Forest's rise up the Championship standings. The 20-year-old has been involved in some way in each of Forest's Championship fixtures this season, contributing 16 goals and nine assists for the Reds in his debut campaign at the second tier.
