It is going to be a long few days as Nottingham Forest wait to return to Premier League action.
Fingernails are being bitten, nerves are being frayed and permutations are being debated - and that’s well in advance of the Reds taking on Southampton. There will be much at stake when the teams meet at the City Ground next Monday night.
Steve Cooper’s side have four games left to try to avoid an immediate return to the Championship. Currently, you can throw a blanket over the teams in the relegation scrap, with Forest in the bottom three on goal difference.
