Speaking after Forest's heavy defeat at Cardiff City, manager Billy Davies remained upbeat about the Reds play-off chances;
"I don't think he [Henderson] intentionally put his elbow up to the boy's face," he said.
"I think his elbow has risen and connected with his face, but under the rules I don't think we can have any complaints about the red card at all. The referee had no choice.
"The run had to come to an end at some point. We have four games left and we know we need at least two wins. There will be plenty of movement in the coming weeks but it's the table at the end of the season that matters. It's all to play for."
