We will get back on track for the noisy diehard support

9:54am Thursday 17th January 2008

WE went into Saturday's game at Forest full of confidence and I think that showed in the first half an hour.

But having been on top of the game we switched off at a corner and got punished.

You can't afford to do that against big clubs like Forest, as you need to be clinical in both boxes.

We were however unlucky that as we were pushing to get back into the game they were given a penalty that never was.

At the time I went to the ref and asked him to consult his linesman, but he told me that he had made his decision and would only be asking him whether he needed to send Stuart Nelson off.

I suppose you do want refs to make decisions in games and stick by them, so while this one has gone against us we've just got to get on with it. Our fans were excellent and to take over 1,300 there was brilliant. They also made a lot of noise and that sums them up this season because the diehards that spend their money following us home and away have been amazing.

We wanted to get back in the game desperately for them, even at 2-0 down, but perhaps that is why we got picked off in the end.

Hopefully we can get back on track now against Luton on Saturday and while they have got all their problems we won't be taking them lightly.

You can't afford to do that against anyone in this league, otherwise you will get punished.

And while Luton have lost a lot of their best young players they have still got class and having had the ten points deduction they are in a false position and we know they will be a good side.
