Boss Steve Cooper says Nottingham Forest are “in great shape” ahead of the play-offs, having finished fourth in the Championship.
The Reds had to settle for a 1-1 draw at Hull City in their final game of the regular season. Brennan Johnson’s late penalty looked to have secured a victory, only for Lewie Coyle to immediately respond for the Tigers.
And that last-minute equaliser changed the play-offs picture. A win would have seen Forest finish third and face Luton Town. Instead, they will now take on Sheffield United over two legs in the semi-finals, in a bid to reach Wembley.
