Five clubs plotting to stop Nottingham Forest from securing play-off spot - reports

Nottingham Forest's bid to secure a play-off spot could be scuppered by rival Championship sides.

According to the Daily Mail, five clubs are against the season resuming and three of them are, interestingly, from Yorkshire.

The Championship has five clubs from the region, Leeds United, Sheffield Wednesday, Hull City, Huddersfield Town and Barnsley.

Forest's season has been suspended since the middle of March because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Sabri Lamouchi's side last played a game at the beginning of the month, losing 3-0 at home to Millwall.

That result left them in fifth place, five points clear of Bristol City in seventh place and in the play-off places alongside Fulham, Brentford and Bristol City.

Forest have been a good bet to secure a play-off place after a season jostling for promotion until their form fell away after the 2-0 defeat of Leeds on February 8.

The Reds have nine games left to play, plus the play-offs if they do secure their place in the top six.
