'Right up' - Exciting Nottingham Forest prediction made that fans will absolutely love

Nottingham Forest will be "right up at the top end" of the Championship, says Wycombe's assistant manager Richard Dobson.

The Reds beat Wycombe 2-0 at the City Ground, thanks to a double from striker Lyle Taylor.

“Make no mistake, we watched plenty of Forest before this game and they will be right up at the top end of this league,” said Dobson.

“They are in a false position at the minute, because they have some wonderful, talented players and a very good manager. We have gone toe-to-toe with a very good side here.

“I said to the boys in the dressing room afterwards that the difference here had just been that ruthlessness when it came to taking chances.

“The second goal was the killer, because it changed the way the game was played. They were able to sit in a little bit deeper. They have some really good players who are strong on the counter-attack and they were able to do that.

“We were chasing the game and it opened up after that point. If we had kept it at 1-0, I think it would have been a really interesting finish.

“They scored both of their goals at a time when we were in the ascendency. The second one involved a little bit of luck in the form of a ricochet in the build-up but Taylor got another good goal.

“But we gave a very good account of ourselves.”
