Miltiadis Marinakis sends brilliant Nottingham Forest message as Reds continue promotion charge

Miltiadis Marinakis has praised Nottingham Forest's "superb" fan base as they backed the Reds onto a fifth consecutive Championship win with a 2-0 defeat of Birmingham City.

A crowd of 29,292 filled the City Ground as Forest's promotion push received a boost and it is the ninth consecutive home game in which more than 27,000 fans have supported the Reds. Keinan Davis provided a brilliant start for the Reds when he drove forward from the left channel and shot past Neil Etheridge from a tight angle.

The on-loan Villa striker enjoyed celebrating in-front of the travelling Blues supporters in the lower West Bridgford Stand. Blues had chances to score as Kristian Pedersen, Scott Hogan and Nico Gordon all wasted good chances, but the Blues suffered a huge blow when goalkeeper Etheridge had to be taken off on a stretcher after a collision with Djed Spence.
