Nottingham Forest are not even in league action this weekend but their fans were delighted nonetheless with Saturday's results in the Championship.
Several promotion rivals dropped points, but the most notable one of all was Blackburn Rovers, who lost 1-0 to relegation-threatened Reading. A late goal from Josh Laurent secured all three points for the Royals.
The result leaves Rovers sixth in the table, but only just; Forest are three points behind with three games in hand, giving them a great chance to pull well clear of Tony Mowbray's side in the play-off race.

There was double delight from that result, though, as it also means that Reading are a massive eight points clear of the Reds' fierce local rivals, Derby County, who are embroiled in a survival battle at the wrong end of the standings.
With the Rams drawing with Coventry City earlier in the day, it feels increasingly ominous that Wayne Rooney's side will suffer the drop at the end of the campaign.
Many Reds supporters took to Twitter to share their glee at the result and what it means. Here is what some of them were tweeting:
Andrew Butts: Bad day for #dcfc oh dear. #nffc
Matt H: I don’t think Derby will get more than 33 points one more win for Reading will see them down
Will Thorpe: What a day! Huddersfield, Blackburn & Millwall all lose...West Brom only draw... Reading move 8 points clear of Derby at the bottom! Roll on the scousers tomorrow!! #NFFC
