Nottingham Forest must focus on reality, says Espirito Santo

Nottingham Forest must deal with the reality of their four-point deduction and begin the task of climbing out of the Premier League drop zone, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

A late equaliser denied Forest a win over fellow strugglers Luton Town in a 1-1 draw in their last game before the international break and worse was to follow days later as they were docked points for breaching financial sustainability rules.

That dropped Forest to 18th place in the table, one point behind Luton with both sides having nine games left.
