Nottingham Forest's Lewis McGugan, who stroked a clever 61st-minute winner, looks one of the brightest prospects outside the Barclays Premier League. [LNB]But demanding boss Billy Davies says he's too slow, not fit enough, too fat and tactically naive yet insisted: 'I told him after the game I want not to be his enemy but his friend. I want to look him in the eye and push him that bit further.' [LNB]McGugan is eager to take on advice. [LNB][LNB] Longing for more: Forest boss Billy Davies is demanding his players go the extra mile in future despite their impressive away win at promotion hopefuls Reading[LNB]The 20-year-old midfielder admits: 'I've done alright but there's still a lot for me to prove. I was in the same England Under 18s as Theo Walcott, Lee Cattermole, Michael Mancienne and Fabrice Muamba. [LNB]'They have gone on to play at the top level and I want to do the same. But I've got to keep on doing what I've done here and hopefully I'll get a chance one day.' [LNB]Reading's goal drought is a worry but boss Steve Coppell is not sympathetic to the cause of demoted striker Leroy Lita. [LNB]Coppell said: 'Look at Leroy's performances and goals and the results when he's started games - and they don't make a strong case for him to start.'[LNB][LNB] [LNB]
