Forest captain Yates: Brentford draw two points dropped

Ryan Yates says Nottingham Forest showed their unity after their draw with Brentford.

The 2-2 draw has Forest now two points from pulling out of the dropzone.

Skipper Yates said: "There was a massive moment for us at the end. It was a game we couldn't afford to lose but we feel it's two points dropped. We need to be winning these games at home.

"The fans are going to be behind us the whole way. We showed that belief and never-say-die attitude. But there is an overriding feeling of disappointment. We had a spell in the first half where we thought we could have put it to bed then a controversial decision went against us.

"You don't usually get to see it but it was on the big screen. My opinion is when you slow something down so much you're probably going to find something. We could have defended it better from back to front so need to look at ourselves first not the referee.

"Delighted for [Morgan Gibbs-White]. He deserves that goal. There's more to come from him and all of us."
