NOTTINGHAM, England (Reuters) - Nottingham Forest must deal with the reality of their four-point deduction and begin the task of climbing out of the Premier League drop zone, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

A late equaliser denied Forest a win over fellow strugglers Luton Town in a 1-1 draw in their last game before the international break and worse was to follow days later as they were docked points for breaching financial sustainability rules.
