Visiting boss Nigel Adkins told his club's official website: "I have watched Nottingham Forest myself this season and they are a powerful side.

"They will pose a big threat from set-plays and rely on good deliveries into the penalty area."

Sunday's matchwinner at Plymouth for the Reds, Chris Gunter, wants to see the home fans rewarded with an upturn in fortunes at the City Ground.

"We have done really well away from home but that won't count for anything if we don't win our home games," he said.

"Your home games are where you should be picking up the majority of your points and we need to start on Wednesday."

A win would move Forest onto 13 points from 10 games, traditionally seen as the first real marker for the season ahead.

Tuesday night's results left them 18th in the Championship.
