Your latest Nottingham Forest headlines ahead of today's FA Cup game against Blackpool.
Nottingham Forest 'considering' Everton transfer after Frank Lampard decision
Nottingham Forest are showing an interest in Everton defender Mason Holgate during the January transfer window, according to reports.
Steve Cooper is keen to add to his squad in the winter window as he looks to lead his side away from the Premier League relegation zone in the second half of the season. And the Reds are keen to add to both ends of their team.
Forwards are a position being looked at, but Forest are also keen to strengthen their defence. According to Sky Sports’ Rob Dorsett , they are ‘considering’ Holgate as one of a number of defensive options in January.
Josh Bowler responds to Nottingham Forest transfer as loan move confirmed
Nottingham Forest winger Josh Bowler has said that it was a ‘no-brainer’ to return to former club Blackpool on loan after the move was confirmed on Thursday.
The 23 year-old returns to the Seasiders on a temporary basis less than six months after signing for Forest in a deadline day deal. After becoming a Forest player, he joined sister club Olympiacos on loan.
However, that move didn’t go as hoped with Bowler struggling for regular game time in the Greek league. He made a total of four league appearances and was left out of the squad for the last four games.
How Taiwo Awoniyi has found a 'spring in his step' and form for Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest are reaping the rewards of Taiwo Awoniyi having “a spring in his step” since the World Cup break.
The front man has been in fine form in recent games, causing defences all kinds of problems. After taking a little while to find his feet since his move from Union Berlin in the summer, he is now having a big impact for the Reds - both with his goals and his all-round play.
Awoniyi was named man of the match in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea. And he netted his fifth goal of the campaign on Wednesday night, having been played in by Brennan Johnson, to clinch a 1-0 win over Southampton.
Pundit predicts shock Nottingham Forest reverse for Blackpool clash
Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton has predicted that Nottingham Forest will be on the end of an FA Cup upset this weekend as the Reds take a break from Premier League action.
Steve Cooper ’s side travel to the coast to take on Championship side Blackpool at Bloomfield Road in the third round of the competition on Saturday. The Forest boss could make changes to his starting lineup for the game with one eye on next weekend’s league clash against Leicester City.
Blackpool currently sit in 22nd place in the Championship and are winless in their last nine games. The Tangerines have though picked up four draws in their last five games, including a 1-1 draw against Sunderland in their last outing.
