The Forest midfielder also previews a busy Easter period where the Reds need to take maximum points from their games against Millwall and Rotherham.

Hi everyone.

The atmosphere at Bristol City last weekend was amazing. It was like a Cup Final, a real party atmosphere. We took a lot of fans down there who made loads of noise.

We got off to a great start. We got in behind them on the left, I did some good work to get past two players before I stuck the ball in the box where I expected a striker to be. Grant Holt did really well to head it in.

It was an ideal start. I did not expect us to score so early. It took us a little by surprise. All the things you talk about before a game, like taking the game to them and getting an early goal, happened.

After going one-up, we thought we could have gone on and scored more. Perchy had a great chance after some good work by Jack Lester but he slid it wide.

It was quite nerve-wracking. We knew they would have time to get back in the game as we had scored so early.

They always looked dangerous with the natural width they had and did get back into the game.

When City scored their fans went wild. It was if they knew they were getting promoted. It reminded me of a Play-Off game I was at once between Stoke and Gillingham. I was playing for Stoke Youth Team at the time. Anyway, we went 2-0 up but Andy Hessenthaler scored a world class goal to bring them level.

Once City scored, it was always in the back of your mind that they might nick a winner. But we had a great shout for a penalty against one of their centre-halves when he wrestled Holty to the ground near the end of the game. We were raging. But they had some great opportunities. Our keeper made some great saves to keep us in the game and we cleared one off the line.

There was a feeling of disappointment in the changing room afterwards. We felt a little hard done by, probably because the foul on Holty had come so late in the game. But I think the draw was a fair result.

I thought I played OK. It was a real end-to-end game. It was a massive work-out. One minute you are trying to defend, the next minute you are attacking. It was like playing a pre-season game. There was so much action. I felt afterwards like I had played three or four games, let alone one.

We are four points behind City now with six games remaining. We need to win at least five of those and hope City drop points. Bradford beat them at their place not so long ago. It's going to go down to the wire. The next six games are vital.

Playing Millwall on Saturday is going to be tough. I just hope we will be too strong for them. I spoke to Neil Harris this morning and he's looking forward to playing against us. He'll be going out to prove a point. He's been on fire recently and he will cause us problems. It's all about confidence as a striker and his finishing was not up to scratch when he was at Forest. It just did not work out for him.

I'm not sure what the plan is for Sunday. We might come in for some light jogging or a walk along the Trent just to get the legs moving. We might have a massage too.

It looks like our game at home with Rotherham on Easter Monday could be a sell-out. It's always good to play in front of a big crowd and I see no reason why they should not see us win comfortably. But Rotherham are fighting for their lives and anything they can get against us is another step towards safety. We need to do a professional job.

I think we are capable of beating anyone on our day. Sometimes we are our own enemy.

Hi Kris. I just found your column - I just want to say I think it's awesome that you've done so well. For the readers, I went to school with Kris and even then you could see his ability, like when he scored from the halfway line on the steep Quarrydale School pitch. I remember telling my dad you'd end up a pro. Anyway, how did it feel to hit the bar against Sheffield Wednesday from so far out on your Stoke debut?
Matthew Bogie
I remember him - you don't forget a name like Bogie! He was always in the higher classes than I was. He was a bit too clever for me! I remember my Stoke debut well, although my shot did not hit the bar. It went just wide. I was just inside their half and I knew that their keeper, Kevin Pressman, was not the most mobile so I thought I would have a go. I thought it was in all the way. It was a memorable day for me. Steve Cotterill had just come in as manager and I'd done well in pre-season, so he gave me a place in the first team. I got 70 minutes in front of 25,000 people. They gave me a nice ovation when I came off too.

How do you think Lewis McGugan is coping with first team football and the attention he has been receiving from the press?
David Holmes
He's doing really well. He's got everything to be a great midfielder. If he gets the right coaching and advice to iron out the weaknesses he has, then he can go on to be a big player for Forest. As for the attention he's receiving, he seems to be taking it in his stride. I think that's important. I remember when I started playing first team football at Stoke, it was so different from playing for the reserves or youth team in front of 50 people. I got a few man-of-the-match awards in my first six games and suddenly I was being linked in the papers to Liverpool and Everton for £5m! Steve Cotterill told me to keep my feet on the ground so I just kept my head down. Most of the stuff you read in the papers is rubbish anyway. My advice would be not to pay much attention to it.

Do the players understand just how important promotion really is this season?
Alex Campbell
Yeah, obviously. It's all we have been talking about since we dropped into League One. It would be disastrous if we did not get promoted after spending most of the season in the top two. The fact that we have been in League One for two years in ludicrous. Everyone is gunning for promotion.
