After winning 4 on the bounce, they've drawn with us and lost at Millwall on Saturday. Yes two tough games so not surprising, but all the same, they wont be on the high they were a few weeks ago.

Eminently winnable game for us. But's it's also a game we could easily loose. 50/50 call imo.

They did beat Blackpool 2 - 0 after drawing with us.

With a reserve side...

What is the injury to Figs? I missed it.

Don't think it said anywhere but apparently it's 'slight.' Though our 'slight' injuries have often taken weeks to clear this season. I've not seen anywhere whether he'll be ready for Wednesday night or not but I'd guess not.

You know, this is one of those classic 'bottle it' games for Forest.

The 'must win this' to get into a position of strength games we've had reversals in for years and years. You know the ones, when it 'really' counted.

A draw wouldn't be a disaster.

I guess I'm just used to Forest losing these kind of games. But we did beat Luton on a classic bad run so Forest must gift them the win type game.

Forest, if they put up the same team but with Ameobi replacing Adomah....should give Reading a 'good' game.

Need to wake up in the 1st 20 mins though. Keep Dawson as Captain and leaves Worrall on his favoured side? Maybe Fig' will find his way onto the bench or the game after if this one is too soon for him.

I'm trying not to think about victory. It would see Forest 1 win behind WBA.

Both Leeds and WBA were out of sight when Forest did their 1 in 7 run.

Football. It's crazy.

I haven't been so excited about a match in a long time.

Can't wait for tonight.

Big game for both teams this one. Forest need a win to stay above the bunching pack around the play offs and keep pressure on top 2. Yet one defeat away from being knocked out the play offs especially with the games we have coming up. A win for Reading keeps them within a chance of making top 6.

Forget the play offs McForest. If we win tonight, my sights are set on winning the league.

If we are going to win the league, we are going to do it the hard way 9 of our remain 18 games after tonight are against the top 10 current teams. To put that into Perspective Leeds only play 6 of the top 10 teams
