They are going the right way, but the top four is a long way off.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Waddle also criticised Jackson during the half-time interval and suggested his performance level meant Chelsea were playing without a striker.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018A fair result so far,\u2019 he said. \u2018Forest have had the better chances, but Chelsea have dominated the ball and they\u2019re not looking to hurt Forest.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"post-strip trending-post-strip\" data-nosnippet=\"\" data-vars-type=\"trending-post-strip\" data-track-module=\"trending-post-strip_article\">\n<h3 class=\"zopo-more\">More <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/trending\/?ico=trending-post-strip_more\">Trending<br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>Read More Stories<\/aside>\n<p>\u2018Chelsea don\u2019t have a centre forward.

It was important for the team to finish the season strong, with the hope to start next season really well.<\/p>\n<figure class=\" img-container shareable-item wp-caption\" style=\"max-width:540px\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" data-rsz=\"shrink\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GettyImages-2152494101.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;zoom=1&amp;resize=540%2C360\" alt=\"Nottingham Forest are all but safe from relegation\" class=\"wp-image-20821390\"\/>\n<\/div><figcaption>Nottingham Forest are all but safe from relegation (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u2018If we are honest we were punished in our first 10 games.

After we beat Tottenham, in the last 24 games we are in the top four or five.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I want to be positive, that is important. The players believe in the way that we work. We have struggled in these type of games but this young team need to realise how we need to compete.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Despite the loss, Forest are almost guaranteed to be playing Premier League football
