    Ryan Yates is in the book for the home side for a trip on Adam Reach on the halfway line.

    Former England and Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher enjoyed Jack Colback's stunner for Nottingham Forest.

    And rightly so you'd have to say.

    Oh heck.

    Forest attack down their right and the ball loops up for the run of James Garner in the middle... But team-mate Philip Zinckernagel takes it off his toe and the chance goes.

    Jack Colback there sporting the face of a man who didn't mean the best goal he'll ever score.

    The 20th league goal of his career probably his most memorable so far I'd venture.

    The former Sunderland and Newcastle man smashed a volley over Baggies goalkeeper David Button from about eight yards before the byeline just before the break to really rub salt in 10-man West Brom's wounds.

    I don't know what kind of consolation I can offer any West Brom fans still with us on here.

    A win tonight would have kept them in the play-off hunt just about but this has been a total nightmare.

    Ryan Yates smashes over for the home side after a spell of possession against the 10-man visitors.

    Taeshul: I don't care if Jack Colback meant that or not, that is goal of the season.

    Heinrad: The Premier League may be "spared West Brom next season", but us fans still have to suffer this joke of a club.

    Paul Carver: All this talk of Rooney and Derby but are people forgetting what a remarkable job Reading have done with their points deduction. Paul Ince has done an amazing job and should be praised as such.

    Shane O'Neill: The amount of games Luton have drawn this season that they should have won, they could be promoted already. But to be where they are with no money and such a small squad is nothing short of incredible

    If you've not seen the Colback goal yet then I suggest you seek it out.

    Lots of you getting in touch on #bbcefl. Keep them coming guys.

    Nottingham Forest 3-0 West Brom

    An Easter Monday walk in the park for the home side.

    West Brom actually made a decent start but that feels like it was AGES ago now.

    Darnell Furlong was booked for a foul on Philip Zinckernagel and then sent off minutes later for handing James Garner's shot in the area.

    Brennan Johnson scored from the spot and then it was quickly 2-0 as Ryan Yates headed home from a corner.

    West Brom were aggrieved because a throw in was wrongly given to the home side in the build-up to the set piece and their feeling that it's just not their day was then compounded in first-half stoppage time when Jack Colback scored a sensational volley from out wide with what was almost certainly meant to be a cross.

    When it rains it pours for the Baggies.

    MY. WORD.

    WOT?!

    Jack Colback has just gone full Roberto Carlos and smashed a volley in from down by the corner flag.

    Judging by his face it's a cross he's mishit but still. WOW.

    Three minutes of time added on at the end of a half that started well for West Brom and quickly turned... sour.

    Nottingham Forest 2-0 West Brom

    A win here will consolidate fifth place for Forest.

    They have two games in hand on Luton and Huddersfield in fourth and third respectively.

    Bournemouth's win at Coventry today gives them a pretty comfortable cushion in second so it's about preparing for the play-offs for the Reds now.

    A situation I'm pretty certain they would have snatched your hand off at after their wretched start to the campaign under Chris Hughton.

    Forest deal with Alex Mowatt's free-kick and then look to spring a counter.

    A West Brom foul stops that and, in his frustration, Taylor Gardner-Hickman attempts to smack the ball against the hoardings.

    But he misses and fires it right into the fans, much to their chagrin.

    The referee books the youngster.

    West Brom captain Jake Livermore is going to talk himself into trouble at this rate.

    He's still berating the referee over the incorrectly awarded throw-in to Forest in the build-up to their second goal.

    The away side have a free-kick in a good area.
