Luton and Burnley lost at the weekend and although Forest were also beaten, it means a mathematical miracle is needed for the Hatters.
Forest will be glad to see the back of this season, although there have still been some decent performances over the campaign.
Going forward, Forest have looked far better under Nuno Espirito Santo and Winter has now lauded one City Ground star.
Winter has been to Forest a few times of late and he will have seen a bang in form Hudson-Odoi.
As one of the most respected journalists in the country, he will have also seen the 23-year-old emerge through the Chelsea ranks.
The Forest number 14 scored twice against Sheffield United recently and on Saturday he scored against Chelsea during a 3-2 defeat.
Hudson-Odoi is a player who only cost Forest an astonishing £3 million in the summer – and it appears Winter loves watching him play.
He told the Forest Focus podcast: “There seems to be more of a cutting edge with someone like (Callum) Hudson-Odoi, although he always makes me laugh.
“You know where he’s going Hudson-Odoi, he never goes around his full-back, he always likes to cut inside but he does it so effectively.”
