'Minimum' - Nottingham Forest fans give their verdict on the run-in

After a long and difficult season, things are looking up at Nottingham Forest, with the Reds pulling clear of relegation danger.

Back-to-back wins have left Chris Hughton’s side 13 points clear of the bottom three and on the cusp of safety.

Next up is a trip to out-of-form Bristol City, who sit just one point and one place above Forest.

The Reds then face Huddersfield Town (home), Birmingham City (away), Stoke City (home), Sheffield Wednesday (away) and Preston North End (home) – all sides currently residing in the bottom half of the table.

Here’s what Forest fans have been saying about the run-in on our Nottingham Forest News Facebook page.

Kevin Rowlands: They are all winnable. But we are now at the funny results time of season. Wednesday beating Cardiff 5-0. And Birmingham beating Swansea. Teams below us are beginning to fight. Take nothing for granted.

Richard Ottaway: All winnable but let's not get carried away, without Garner we were and probably still are a bottom 6 team, if we're to carry momentum through to next season it has to be with Garner or a very good replacement.

Will James Garner be back at Nottingham Forest next season?

Tom Meakin: 10 points 2 wins and four draws. Final 8 games of the season unbeaten. Promotion next year. Top 6 in prem year after. Win it the year after that. Champions of Europe after that. You heard it here first.

Peter Newman: The next game will define our finish

Minimum - 5 points to ensure safety

Likely - 10 points

Possible - If we play like last game I see 14 points

Gareth Davies: 12 points.

Bristol City – draw

Huddersfield - win

Birmingham - win

Stoke - draw

Sheff weds - win

Preston - draw

Ricky Forlenza: There got to be 10 points minimum in there surly with the way our momentum is now

Ian Andrew Spridgens: Be happy with 10 points but the way we have played last two games easily do 15

Stuart Harris: We still need a couple of wins to be 100% with Rotherham having 4 games in hand. Not seen the last two games but positive posts point to a good run and put this season behind as the 21st year of building a side for the Premier.

Dave York: 7 anyone can beat anyone (other than beating Norwich! in the championship). Hope its bye bye Rams!

Neil D Francis: 10 is realistic. 18 should be what we achieve against this opposition.
