relegation

The tournament will resume next year with the knockout stages, plus relegation and promotion play-offs.

But seven points from their final matches against the same opposition ended the campaign on a high and avoided automatic relegation.

Minutes after the final whistle, Forest’s social media account pointed an accusing finger at VAR Stuart Attwell, who they claimed was a fan of Luton Town, who were also in relegation trouble at the time.

There is also a play-off route to promotion if they finish as runners-up, while finishing third would open up the prospect of a March play-off to avoid relegation.

Striker Chris Wood - a different player but just as talismanic as Jamie Vardy - has eight goals and they have the second-best defence in the division, having only avoided relegation by four points last season.
