Nottingham Forest preview


It's incredible to think that we'll be running out with former European Champions Nottingham Forest tomorrow in a League One game!

The game of course has added spice as Colin Calderwood returns as Forest boss. A lot of people are slagging CC off and saying that they'll give him a bad recpetion at Sixfields tomorrow but for a man who has taken us up to League One, I certainly don't think it's justified.

CC gave us some awesome nights like Field Mill in 2004, Rotherham in the FA Cup to set up the tie with Manchester United and last season alone giving us memories like Orient, Oxford and Chester. I for one thank Colin for the work he did here and wish him all the best in the future...after Saturday of course!

As for the game itself, Tyson is missing for Forest but they still have fire power in the likes of Jack Lester and Grant Holt and are the favourites to take the League One title. Another massive test for this Cobblers side awaits as we look for our first win of the season.

John Gorman has promised that we'll attack Forest from the off and let's just hope Calderwood uses his defensive style against us!

This is the final game that I'll miss before I start on my personal League One journey at Gillingham next week!
