YES, IT'S TIME TO DREAM LUES

Wood's message to jubilant Forest fans...

- IAN WHITTELL

CHRIS WOOD has told Nottingham Forest fans to dream on as their side head into the new year as shock Premier contenders.

League title A 2-0 win at Everton on Sunday featured Wood's 11th goal of a stunning campaign that has rekindled memories of the late seventies and early eighties when Forest were the kings of Europe.

At the very least, it has left Wood's men well placed to qualify for the Champions League for the first time ever.

And while boss Nuno Espirito Santo (with keeper Matz Sels, right) and his in-form stars are playing down such talk, Wood is happy for long-suffering Forest fans to enjoy their lofty position.

He said: "Yes, 100 percent. I mean that's for them to enjoy it and dream.
