Forest skipper calls on fans to show their support
Nottingham Forest skipper Luke Chambers has called on the City Ground boo-boys to get off the players' backs and start showing their support.
A difficult season for all concerned on the banks of the Trent has seen frustrations come to the boil.
Forest have, however, offered themselves hope in their Championship survival bid, with a vital 2-0 victory over fellow strugglers Coventry on Saturday having lifted them out of the drop zone.
It is now imperative that everyone starts to pull in the same direction, with Chambers making it clear to those who felt the need to jeer over the weekend that their actions are not helping anybody.
"The supporters didn't support us in the first half, we went off at 0-0 and got booed," said the centre-half.
"When you're down in the hole we're in, that's not going to help anyone.
Critics
"Maybe it's a minority trying to get on our backs but it's transferring to the whole crowd.
"Everyone in the ground could feel it. Whether they want to see us do well or not, that's not something you want to hear when you come off.
"There was a hell of a lot of frustration at half-time.
"If you support Forest and you're that negative it's only going to cause problems for us on the pitch.
"But we can deal with that, we just have to bite our tongue and get on with it. That's the way to answer your critics, with a 2-0 win."
