But instead, Forest have picked up just six points from as many games after
two wins and four defeats with the latest setback being a 2-1 home loss to Brentford.

"But you can't get a run going without making the first step, which is getting back-to-back wins.
"After winning at Gillingham, Brentford was a game of huge importance for us, even this early in the season."
