After a defeat snatched from the jaws of victory, Nottingham Forest need to ensure their survival hopes do not go the same way.
In the space of barely 10 minutes at Brentford, they went from being on course for just a second away win of the season and taking a significant step towards safety to being toppled on the road again and heading for a return to the relegation zone. They can get out of trouble again, but time is running out and it will almost certainly require a change in fortunes away from home, as well as beating Southampton at the City Ground on Monday week.
What happened in the capital shows how quickly the tide can turn. From the joy and relief of victory on Wednesday night to the kick in the gut which accompanied full-time on Saturday. From limbs in the away end after Danilo’s goal to players dropping to their haunches at the final whistle.
