'You cannot go public with your emotions'

I would be very disappointed with the decisions against Everton not going Nottingham Forest's way.

They have been very vocal about the situation but they have got to understand you cannot necessarily go public with your emotion.

You have to be quite balanced with any criticism that goes onto a public platform because you know what punishment will come your way.

The club has just gone full blast with it like I have never seen before, questioning the integrity of the officials.

It's very, very strange. I think you can see that the club has got certain strange decisions in it but this has gone to a whole new level.

Now, Forest have Manchester City coming up. I think they have the players to stay up, but it all depends on whether Luton or Burnley pick up wins.

With the form they are in, and with the level of uncertainty about the place, I do not expect Forest to get a huge amount of results between now and the end of the season.

You would say they are favourites to stay up - that is for certain - but having that points deduction could cost them.
