Nottingham Forest midfielder Ryan Yates has been buoyed by a conversation with a couple of Reds old boys ahead of a final push for promotion.
The 24-year-old’s former teammates Michael Dawson and Glenn Murray were on Sky Sports punditry duty on Tuesday night for Forest’s clash with Bournemouth. And although Steve Cooper’s side missed out on second place with a 1-0 defeat that night, the Reds will no doubt receive plenty of support from afar as they prepare for the play-offs.
Yates and defender Joe Worrall got the chance to catch up with Dawson and Murray before kick-off on the south coast. The pair, who left the City Ground last summer, had plenty of positive words to say as their old club targets a place in the Premier League.
