Nottingham Forest's promotion rivals were sent a firm warning as the Reds continue their surge up the Championship table at Blackpool on Saturday.
The Reds have enjoyed three successive wins in the league and gone unbeaten in their last eight matches to inch closer to the Championship top-six play-off places.
A 4-1 win handed Steve Cooper's side another huge boost in their charge for the play-offs as goals from Philip Zinckernagel, a Brennan Johnson brace and Sam Surridge put the Reds into a commanding position at Bloomfield Road.
