Graham Potter’s side produced yet another lacklustre performance at the City Ground and were perhaps fortunate to get anything from the game. Forest showed more tenacity and aggression, especially after Serge Aurier volleyed them level. The Blues had to settle for a point in the end, which leaves them eight behind fourth-placed Manchester United.
Speaking soon after the draw, the defender said: “Every point matters and of course, today we lost two points. Since the beginning of the season we lost too many points and we are now really far away from where we want to be.
“We need to have a very good second half of the season if we want to achieve a Champions league spot next season. We have to stick together. We know that it is not the most pleasant time but in these difficult moments I think we need everybody to work hard to improve.”
