NOTTINGHAM Forest will take on Watford at The City Ground on Saturday. The Reds find themselves billed as the favourites by SkyBet, however judging by the way we've been playing this season it looks unlikely that we will gain anything from the game. Let's just be optimistic and sing our hearts out.

Ever-increasing pressure has been mounted onto the shoulders of The Reds recently, and they will be looking for an essential second win of the season when they take on Watford tomorrow afternoon at The City Ground.

Joe Kinnear's position holding the reigns at Nottingham Forest has looked under much doubt recently and he will be looking for nothing less than a victory in order to make sure his job stays a secure one.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST: Andy Reid is all set to make a return to the first team squad alongside fellow Republic of Ireland international John Thompson. 

Defender Jon Olav Hjelde is also looking a lot more likely to make tomorrow's game. All three of the aforementioned are more than capable of making a valuable contribution to Forest's game.

Gareth Taylor is still suspended, and so it is more than likely that Marlon King will continue to partner out-of-form David Johnson in attack.

WATFORD: The Hornet's top-scorer so far this season, Danny Webber, will be making a return to the Watford side after being rested for Tuesday Carling Cup tie with Sheffield United.

Brynjar Gunnarsson will also be making his return to The City Ground... but we don't really care, do we?
