Pemberton praises Forest players

"The players were disappointed about what happened on Boxing Day (Colin Calderwood's sacking) but I didn't have to do a great deal," he said after the Reds moved out of the bottom three.

"They did it themselves, they really wanted to do it today.

"We thoroughly deserved the win, the players dug in and fought when they had to. Obviously it's a massive boost for us being out of the bottom three."
