Couldn't think of any others but I'm sure those more knowledgeable than me can add other names.
Edit: loads of players have played for both, I must improve my 'whose played for both' research.
So as we hit the midway point of the season, Forest find themselves on the brink of the playoffs, in 7th place and 1 point from 6th. Their top scorer, and the division's top scorer, Lewis Grabban has 14 goals this season and is certainly one to be aware of. As others have mentioned below, in 33 games away to Forest, we have 14 draws and not one away win, a stat which we surely have to get rid of eventually.
We go in on the back of a good win against Boro, and with the chance of putting ourselves as high as 8th with a win. Preston won at the City Ground on December 8th, but from the match report I read, it was only after a series of good saves from the Preston keeper, Declan Rudd, and Forest wasting a number of chances. Preston then took their chance, and got the 0-1 win. I reckon we will most likely hope for something similar on Saturday. A solid performance from our back line and keeper will be key, and a clinical eye in front of goal. Sounds so simple doesn't it.
Enjoy it those who are going, and come you super hoops, we surely have to break the record eventually!
