NOTTINGHAM Forest must not let their promotion chance slip from their grasp after working so hard to put themselves within touching distance of the Premiership.

That was the message today from Luke Chambers, as he challenged the stuttering Reds to get back to winning ways at Barnsley tonight, following five consecutive away defeats.

The defender believes Forest must get 'back to basics' if they want to claw back second-placed West Brom.

"We do not want to let it slip, not now we have put so much work into getting this far," said Chambers.

"We don't want to say that we did a great job up until March and then let it slip.

"We want to finish the job. We have the perfect opportunity tonight to go to a tough place and put things right.

"We have to have confidence because we have done a fantastic job this season – and we are third in the league.

"If we do our jobs tonight, we could be two points behind West Brom again, because they have a tough game at Swansea."

Chambers believes Forest still have it within their power to secure second spot.

"We can win every game now. With the players we have got, we can do that," he said.

The players yesterday watched a video analysis of where things went wrong at Preston.

"We have to focus on the small details," said Chambers. "Sometimes you have to sit down as a group and look at these things. You have to win headers and tackles, to make sure you contest second balls."
