Nottingham Forest hero Michael Dawson sends Reds play-off message

Michael Dawson has set his sights on a play-off final date  under the famous Wembley arch as  Nottingham Forest chase their dream of a return to the Premier League.

The Reds look a solid bet to make the play-offs this season with the centre-back confident that one more win should be enough to guarantee a top-six finish.

Forest have the chance to do that on Wednesday night when they entertain Swansea at the City Ground with the visitors still reeling from their last-gasp defeat to Leeds on Sunday.

Should the Reds book their place in the top six, it will have been a remarkable first full season in charge for boss Sabri Lamouchi.

Centre-back Dawson, who was speaking to Talksport, praised Lamouchi for the work he has done this season and now wants to seal their their play-off place as quickly as possible.

“We had a tough draw away at Preston at the weekend,” he said,

“They are a very physical team, very direct  and look it’s a good point in the end.

“It was probably a fair result.

“You just want to get that win that will probably secure our place in the play-offs.

“But with three games to go we’ve got to make sure we do that because we’ve been in and around it all season.

“It will have been a really good season for ourselves.

“We had a change of manager in the summer. Sabri Lamouchi has come in and done a great job.

“He’s got the lads playing, we’ve got a great spirit and we’ve got to get ourselves over the finishing the line for the play-offs.

“Then we all know what that is. It’s about turning up for two games in the semi-final and hopefully we can make it to Wembley.”
