I felt City had to start their last Friday game against Huddersfield by going for them from the whistle; they were there for the taking it seemed to me. We didn't do that, allowed Huddersfield to get some momentum and we managed just a scoreless draw.

Tomorrow's fixture at home tomorrow against Forest is similar in that they're not in good form - just 2 goals and 3 draws from their last 6 games - and they're looking over their shoulders at the relegation spots as we face the run-in. However, they've played 4 of the top 6 in those games and have only lost by the odd goal each time (except Norwich who got 2). Clearly they would settle for a point right now and you can bet Houghton will set them up not to concede.

It seems to me City must play this one on the front foot from the first minute, not give Forest any respite at all and be set up to get that first goal early if possible or in the knowledge the pressure will be kept up relentlessly until it comes. We have strength in depth, at home (if that counts for anything) and in good form / heart. Go for it, Mick
