Nottingham Forest have been on an incredible run under Steve Cooper but it would be a step too far to finish second in the Championship.
That was the verdict on this week's Garibaldi Red podcast reviewing Saturday's 4-1 win at Blackpool. The result took Forest to within a point of the play-offs with games in hand on all the teams above them placed from third to sixth.
Forest are 11 points behind second placed Bournemouth with nine games to go. The Cherries have tough run of games coming up as they go to West Brom, Sheffield United and Coventry in their next five games. Their home matches in that period are against Middlesbrough and Fulham. Given those fixtures and Forest's form, some fans have begun to dream of automatic promotion behind leaders Fulham, but BBC Radio Nottingham football presenter David Jackson says the focus should be on getting in the play-offs.
