Forest will be hoping to achieve a first on Tuesday night when they try for three successive league wins for the first time this season. To achieve this feat they will have to beat Bristol Rovers.

Bristol Rovers have found the going tough of late with them still looking for their first win since 1^st March. It appears that the F.A.Cup run that the club had where they beat Fulham and Southampton before losing in the Quarter Finals to West Bromwich Albion has caught up with them with them having to play nine games in March to clear the fixture backlog.

They are managed by Paul Trollope who is assisted by former Charlton, Middlesbrough and Cardiff manager Lennie Lawrence who is Director of Football.

The main threat is likely to come from striker Rickie Lambert who is currently top scorer for the club with 10 league goals this season. Also likely to feature is former Notts County player David Pipe and former Mansfield player Craig Disley who have both been regulars in the team this season.
