Lewis McGugan believes Nottingham Forest could be four more points from Premier League safety as the relegation race reaches its crescendo.
The Reds were eight minutes plus injury time from a win at Brentford that would have seen them need to beat bottom of the table Southampton to secure safety in all likelihood.
Now they must beat the Saints next Monday to keep their head above water, but former Forest midfielder McGugan is confident they will stay up if they do with Leeds, Leicester and Everton in equally bad or even worse form.
