No excuses from Forest boss

A recent upturn in confidence at the City Ground evaporated with a 1-0 defeat at the hands of the Blades, making Saturday's home game against Blackpool even more important for the Reds.

"We played well below par as individuals," said Calderwood.

"The difference in performance between this and Saturday was alarming."

Forest now need three points from the weekend clash with Blackpool and Calderwood added: "I don't think playing at home is an issue because we won the last game here."
