Sky Sports pundit Don Goodman has backed Nottingham Forest to make the Championship play-offs come the end of the season.
Forest currently sit seventh in the league table, one point off sixth place and five from third. Steve Cooper 's men also have at least one game in hand over five of the six teams above them in the table, so things are looking good.
Goodman was speaking about Forest on the latest episode of the Sky Sports EFL Podcast. The former West Brom and Wolves striker has finally given judgement after sitting on the fence for much of the season.

“I would have them as one of my four and, as you know on this podcast, I have been quite non-committal because it’s so tight," he said.
“But based on what I’ve seen, not just Saturday but actually I saw them at Bramall Lane and they were far and away better than Sheffield United in the cauldron of Bramall Lane, and it took a last minute Ryan Yates equaliser. But that’s how football can work, sometimes you don’t always get what you deserve.”
He added: "You know, in Brennan Johnson they’ve got a potential superstar. His finishes [against Blackpool] were outstanding. He’s not on his own, the all-round team performance was excellent, other players are chipping in with goals. I mean Sam Surridge has got three in his last five off the bench as well. They really look a force.”
