Michael Dawson says that Nottingham Forest want to secure their place in the Championship play-offs as soon as possible, with just three games remaining this season.
Forest currently sit fifth in the Championship table following their 1-1 draw away at Preston at the weekend, and are now six points clear of seventh-placed Swansea in the battle for a top-six spot.
Sabri Lamouchi side host the Swans at The City Ground on Wednesday night, knowing that a win would guarantee their place in the play-offs, and that is something that Dawson wants to make sure of quickly, given the club have been in this sort of position all season.

Speaking about Forest’s push for the play-offs, the defender was quoted by Nottinghamshire Live as telling TalkSport: “You just want to get that win that will probably secure our place in the play-offs.
“But with three games to go we’ve got to make sure we do that because we’ve been in and around it all season.”
This season is of course Lamouchi’s first in charge at The City Ground, and discussing what it would mean to reach the play-offs this year, and on the job Lamouchi has done, Dawson continued: “It will have been a really good season for ourselves.
“We had a change of manager in the summer. Sabri Lamouchi has come in and done a great job.
“He’s got the lads playing, we’ve got a great spirit and we’ve got to get ourselves over the finishing the line for the play-offs.”
Should Forest then reach the play-offs, Dawson knows what would be expected of him and his teammates, as he simply concluded: “Then we all know what that is. It’s about turning up for two games in the semi-final and hopefully we can make it to Wembley.”
