Nottingham Forest sent demand after Leeds United turn up the heat

The importance of Nottingham Forest's game against Chelsea ramped up even further ahead of kick-off when Leeds United picked up a valuable point against Newcastle.

Spoils were shared at Elland Road, with Leeds closing the gap on Forest in the relegation race ahead of kick-off at Stamford Bridge. That heaped even more pressure on Steve Cooper and his men to go and get a result in west London.

As if a result against Chelsea wasn't important enough, a hard-fought point for Leeds keeps Forest firmly on their toes. The Reds went 1-0 up in the capital - but their fans have made clear their feelings. Here is a look at what supporters were saying after the Leeds match.

@4evaNFFC: The Leeds point makes no difference to us at all. They still need a win to go above us and unless we win another game ourselves a win for Leeds or Leicester at any point takes them above us on GD. Still very much in our hands. Lets go boys.

@hannahforest : My revised points predictions after the Leeds game: Leicester 36, Everton 36, Forest 35, Leeds 34.

@domthered : Well at least Leeds stay behind us this weekend but how we need to get something today.

@Woodyyy09 : You’d think after they beat us at our ground in the last min and we took Wood and Shelvey off them, that they’d be able to do us a favour at Leeds.

@Nottingham_MI : Everton scored five against Brighton last week and today Leeds draw against Newcastle. Nobody gives up on the bottom, we have to go all out today!

@jtweets92 : Leeds likely needed a win to go above us. They still do. We need to be 4 points clear before Palace.

@19welchy : #nffc have to get a result today, typically Newcastle couldn’t be relied on to get 3 points against Leeds and they will now honestly believe results against West Ham & spurs are possible -6 points most likely so we need the same from remaining games.

@trickytrees12 : Absolutely need another 3 points at least now. Leeds and Leicester will both beat a weakened West Ham. Gap effectively a point now with our goal difference.
