THERE was a setback for Forest in their quest to beat the drop.

Visitors Heybridge Swifts plundered three points at Cricklefields as the Stags slipped to a 2-1 defeat in the Ryman One clash.

A penalty on 24 minutes was converted by Tom English for the Swifts. Then Michael Toner came back to haunt his old club later with his goal on 77 minutes.

Lukman Mojeed struck on 84 minutes for Forest but it was a consolation, as the winless streak lengthened to three games for relegation-threatened Forest.
