We look forward to the game - two big stadiums, two big clubs and two passionate groups of supporters. Generally, it was a good game and, for the supporters, it was nice for us to score a late goal. I'm disappointed not to win - that's just me - but I'm naturally not naive or narrow-minded. They can see the boys fighting for every point and doing the best that they can." We wanted to finish third, but to come from bottom of the league to fourth place is great. We are looking forward to it.

Hull were marginally better than their rivals in the first half, with Allahyar Sayyadmanesh a continual menace up front. Forest’s enthusiastic supporters might have expected their side to have kicked on. Hull, embarrassed by their 5-0 defeat at Bristol City last weekend, at least tried to make a game of it early on.

Nottingham Forest head to Hull City this afternoon looking to gain a confidence-boosting win heading into their play-off campaign.

However, Joe Lolley could be in line for a start at the expense of Philip Zinckernagel. Forest have some problems in attack and it could be a case of needs must for the Reds today. Jack Colback could get a rest and Richie Laryea could come in for his full debut with the play-offs in mind.

Hull City were almost sucker-punched by Forest with a contentious penalty in the final minute, but Lewie Coyle rescued a point for the Tigers seconds later.

Forest did not deserve the three points on City's superb second half display and it was even sweeter for the hometown boy Coyle to salvage the Tigers a point in a grandstand finish. Sayyadmanesh was then played in behind by Honeyman and should have squared the ball to Lewis-Potter but shot tamely at Samba. Baxter then saved a Forest chance with his face as the game became end-to-end with both teams wanting to finish the season with a win. Forest started to get on the ball more as the half progressed, but didn't really create any chances of note. The away side then played the ball well through the thirds and their chance was only thwarted by a well-timed Jacob Greaves tackle. Both sides started with a loud vocal support behind them, but it was the home side who tried to break through first.

Shota Arveladze has made three changes to his starting line-up for the visit of Nottingham Forest.
