The play-offs record which shows why Nottingham Forest should target third-placed finish

Nottingham Forest could secure their highest Championship finish for more than a decade when they take on Hull City this weekend.

The Reds are already guaranteed a place in the play-offs, and they will finish either third or fourth in the table regardless of what happens in the final round of league fixtures. But should they finish third, it would match their position from the 2009/10 campaign.

And if they record a victory over the Tigers, it would take Steve Cooper’s side up to 82 points - the club’s highest points total in the second tier since 1998, when they were promoted as champions with 94. Ending the regular season well is very much the manager’s aim.
