Nottingham Forest vs Brighton & Hove Albion preview - Reds to ring changes



Posted Friday, September 26, 2014 by PA

Nottingham Forest will make changes for the visit of Brighton.

Reds boss Stuart Pearce swapped nine players for Wednesday's Capital one Cup tie against Tottenham, with only central defender Kelvin Wilson and midfielder David Vaughan keeping their places in the team.

The likes of Dan Harding, Jamie Paterson and Ben Osborn impressed at White Hart Lane and have perhaps given Pearce food for thought ahead of the weekend. However, mainstays such as Karl Darlow, Michael Mancienne, Henri Lansbury, Michail Antonio and Britt Assombalonga are certain to be recalled.

Full-back Jack Hunt is having an ankle injury assessed but fellow defender Jack Hobbs will definitely miss out once more with his ankle problem. Striker Matty Fryatt and midfielder Andy Reid are both nearing returns after groin issues.

Sam Baldock returns for Brighton but Inigo Calderon misses out through suspension.

Striker Baldock was cup-tied for the Capital One Cup win over Burton, during which Spanish full-back Calderon was sent off resulting in a three-match ban.

Skipper Gordon Greer and fellow defender Bruno should be back in the starting line-up after they were rested in midweek, but winger Paddy McCourt may have earned a first league start after an impressive full debut against the League Two side.

Midfield duo Solly March (back) and Dale Stephens (ankle) are set to miss out again.
