Premier League reaction & Champions League race latest as Forest draw at Palace
It is still in Forest's hands - Earnshaw
Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottm Forest
Former Nottingham Forest striker Rob Earnshaw told 5 Live Breakfast that while fans will be disappointed to see their side dropping down the table, he believes Champions League qualification is till in their hands:
"It looks a little bit more difficult, but you know what, in my opinion I actually still think it is in their hands.
"They are still sixth, there is only two points the difference between [Forest and] Chelsea and Newcastle [in fifth and fourth, respectively].
"But when you have been in third for so long it is a little bit more disappointing when you see yourself start dropping and dropping.
"Two weeks ago they were probably nailed on and now they are in sixth, so it is very difficult. But I say it is in their hands because they have probably got the best fixtures out of the whole lot."
