Boss Billy Davies has appealed to Nottingham Forest fans to remain positive and help propel his side to greatness.

The Reds climbed into a mid-table position after beating Scunthorpe 2-0 to claim only their second home win of the season. The result brought an end to a frustrating run of games in which Forest felt they had not been rewarded for their positive performances.

Davies insists the sky is the limit for his players if the club pulls together, on and off the pitch.

"It's all about belief and staying positive. The negativity has to be removed from this football club. The majority of this crowd are fantastic but there's a minority who get impatient. They have to understand what this game is about," said Davies.

"Stay positive, stay behind us and keep creating this wonderful spirit at the City Ground. Let clubs fear coming here, let them fear coming to a place where the crowd is behind the team from the first minute to the last. If we can do that then, in my opinion, there's no limit to where this group of players can get to.

"The fans have to believe in us, they have to stay with us because we are on the right road. We have a lot of work to do but, if they keep believing in us, you will see the response."
