    Here are some of your comments:

    Nottingham Forest fans

    Richard: A gritty battling performance with a depleted squad to see the Reds over the finishing line of safety. Over the last month every player in the squad has played their part in securing safety in the Premier League and reaching the semi-final of the Europa League. This truly is an amazing football club.

    Kris: A hard-earned point and another season of Premier League football assured. So pleased for Elliot Anderson, showing great character. A lot to do over the summer and hopefully recruitment will be better and we'll have a little less managerial drama!

    Colin: On the back of getting knocked out of Europe on Thursday and also having played so many games in a short period of time along with all the injuries we have, it wasn't the best performance as regards good football but the effort and commitment to get a result to stay in the Premier League next season was immense. Well done Nottingham Forest.

    Mark: Fair result, Forest looked like they were running on fumes. Tactical changes after 10 minutes or so made it more of a competition. Newcastle looked slick at times, so thanks to Matz Sels for keeping us in the game.

    Newcastle fans

    Geoff: Exactly the same as we've played all season. Play well. Dominate the game. Take the lead only to lose it again late in game. Eddie Howe has gone as far as he can with this team. Replace him and clear out half of that inept team too.

    Mike: Another poor performance, except for one good move that resulted in a goal. Lots of possession and opportunities but no killer instinct in front of goal and poor defending. Too predictable I'm afraid!

    Gordon: Yet again we took the lead and failed to defend it. What an unbelievable sequence this season. Full marks to Forest and Elliot Anderson in particular. You deserved the point.

    GPW: Same old defensive frailties combined with very poor finishing sums up Newcastle this season!

  2. 'Fitting for Anderson to have the last say'published at 19:02 BST 10 May

    Match of the Day pundit Shay Given on Elliot Anderson's performance for Nottingham Forest against his former club Newcastle: "It was fitting for him to have the last say in that game against his former club and after the sad passing of his mother.

    "He's shown incredible resolve over the last few weeks as losing a parent is one of the biggest things that could ever happen to anyone.

    "People often forget the human side of players, they aren't just robots. For him to keep playing at the level he has been - when he will have been hurting so much - has been unbelievable. It will have meant so much to him to score against Newcastle, his mum was a Geordie and he will no doubt have had mates in the away end.

    "He is some player and he has yet again shown what a mistake Newcastle made by letting him go.

    "That goal today has earned Forest the point that might be the one that seals their safety for next season. He got cramp when he scored and that showed just how much effort he puts in today and week in, week out."
