A questionable offside call brought a brilliant FA Cup run to an end. But Nottingham Forest's season, and this team's journey, is far from over.
In fact, the serious stuff is only just about to get started. The big prize is still tantalisingly within reach. The best could still be to come.
On any other day, in different circumstances, the halting of a nine-match unbeaten run could have felt like a blip in the road; a potential momentum-disrupter. But this one... This one was as heroic a defeat as you could get. It has to be a springboard to even greater accomplishments.
