Morgan Gibbs-White says belief is high amongst the dressing room after Forest's huge 4-3 win over Southampton on Monday night.
The attacking midfielder played an influential role in the win, scoring from the penalty spot before half-time to restore Forest's two-goal advantage at a vital time, before producing an excellent assist for Danilo late in the second half.
Gibbs-White, who has now contributed to six goals in his last four matches, says that belief amongst the players remains high as The Reds prepare for the final three games of the season.
On the performance...
“It was a bit of a rollercoaster but the boys stuck together and showed great character to help us get the win which we fully deserved.
“Hats off to Southampton, they came here fighting in the situation that they are in, so fair play to them as well.”
On Taiwo Awoniyi’s brace…
“He’s what you'd call a typical striker.
"If you give him chances in front of goal, he’s going to score, and that’s what he did.
“He had a bad injury and he’s worked so hard to come back so I’m absolutely delighted for him that he got his two goals which he deserved.”
On penalty nerves…
“You’ve just got to stay calm and composed. You’ve got to trust in your ability and trust that you’re going to score.
“We did our homework a couple of days ago so I knew what my plan was, and luckily enough it went in.
“You have to be confident in those situations, you can’t be negative or think about missing.
“I stayed positive, I knew where I was going to put the ball and put it in the back of the net.”
On the assist for Danilo’s goal…
“I prefer doing that to scoring goals.
“I had the chance to shoot but saw Kyle Walker-Peters ready to dive and try to block my shot.
"I saw Danilo overlapping me, so I thought I’d try something and luckily enough it paid off.”
On Danilo’s third goal in three games…
“I’ve said before that he’s an incredible player.
"He’s got so much ability and he can go a very long way. He just needs to stay grounded.
“He’s going to be vital for us in these next three games.”
On The City Ground support…
“The fans were incredible once again. They stuck behind us through every moment of the game.
"It was my mistake for the first goal, but they stuck behind me and stuck behind us.
"It made us we keep going and we got the result we deserved.”
On looking ahead to the final three games…
“We knew coming into these last four games that it was going to be really tough, but we’ve stuck to the manager’s game plan.
“We’re now looking to go to Stamford Bridge on Saturday and get another three points there.
“It’s not going to be easy, there are three games left, but I believe, the team believes and I hope the whole of the Forest fanbase believes that we can definitely do it.”
