'Game of the decade' - West Brom loss leaves Nottingham Forest fans excited

Nottingham Forest fans have been reacting to West Bromwich Albion’s defeat to Stoke City in the Sky Bet Championship.

The Baggies had the chance to extend their lead at the top of the table with victory over the Potters, but fell to a 1-0 loss at The Hawthorns.

The result means Forest are now six points off the top of the table with a game in hand, which is against Reading on Wednesday night.

Victory at the City Ground would put Sabri Lamouchi’s side three points adrift of the league summit, and two behind second placed Leeds United.

Forest take on both Leeds and West Brom next month, with Marcelo Bielsa’s side travelling to the City Ground on February, 8 while the Reds go to The Hawthorns on February 15.

Here is a selection of what Forest fans had to say after Stoke’s win over West Brom.

Andrew Butters: “Wednesday night is gonna be epic if we win.”

Patrick O’Kane: “No pressure #nffc but Stoke have just done us a huge favour.”

Justin O’Hanlon: “That makes Wednesday night's game just a little bit more important.”

Trevor Smith: “Well done Stoke. It’s up for grabs now.”

Joe: “That result makes this Reading game 10 times bigger. A win would put #nffc 3 pts off top. MASSIVE.”

Samuel: “Wednesday biggest game of the decade.”

Lauren: “Even bigger game on Wednesday then. Not only if we win do we go 2 points behind Leeds, but we’d then also be 3 points behind Albion.”

Craige Lee: “Wednesday has just become the biggest game of the season without doubt!!”
