Nottingham Forest face a difficult tie against in-form Bristol City, at the City Ground on Saturday.
The game promises to be a real mouth-watering fixture, as the league's two in-form sides go head to head.
Forest will need to watch City marksman Nicky Maynard carefully, as the former Crewe Alexandra hitman has scored nine goals already this season and is bang in form.
Forest striker Dele Adebola could be in line to start against the club he left in the summer, after playing a part in Lewis McGugan's injury time leveler against Cardiff last Sunday.
The last time the two sides met at the City Ground, Dexter Blackstock fired home a last minute winner for the Reds which went a long way to help Forest securing their safety in the Championship. Blackstock volleyed home a Joe Garner knockdown, before going into the Trent End to celebrate with the jubilant home fans.
I think this is probably going to be a tougher match than people think as BC are certainly no mugs.
ReplyDeleteIt is important that both fans and players think it isn't a 'gimme' 3 points or we could well come unstuck, like against Blackpool.
I will be happy for any kund of win, and, with our striking injuries I feel a close 1-0 could be on the cards
I reckon Billy will give Adebola a run out aainst his former club, despite thinking he wasn't great against Cardiff. However, I think he is a player who is more effective starting a game than being an 'impact' sub.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it will be a close game and Wilson, Wes,Gunter et al will need to be on guard to watch out for the pace of the City team and the goal scoring exploits of top scorer Nicky Maynard.
