While Forest fans prepare for a pre play-off party, Plymouth manager Paul Mariner knows the hard work starts now if he is to bounce back from relegation out of the Championship.
The club hierarchy are insisting that not only a return to the second tier of English football but a place in the Premier League within the next five years remains their target.
"This is something which is a bitter pill to swallow, but work has already started to rebuild the team and get it back where it belongs," Mariner told the Plymouth Herald.
