Nottingham Forest saw their 10-match unbeaten run ended by Wigan Athletic on Sunday and will hope to get back on the winning trail tomorrow night when Hull City arrive at the City Ground.
Boss Sabri Lamouchi will likely ring the chances tomorrow after making five to his team on Sunday from the team that defeated Brentford prior to the international break.
The Reds suffered a rare off-day at the DW Stadium but with Sabri Lamouchi’s men sat nicely in fourth position, there really isn’t any need to panic just yet.
Back-to-back home games against the Tigers and Reading on Saturday offer Forest a real opportunity to cement their place in the top six of the Championship.
One man who recognises the significance of the forthcoming home double-header is central defender Joe Worrall. He has taken to Twitter to speak of his determination to get as many points as possible over the next few days:
The 22-year-old is an ever-present in the league this season and that is perhaps a surprise to some supporters who didn’t fancy him to be first choice this season.
Lamouchi has recognised his importance to the team and the partnership he struck up with Michael Dawson has proved the catalyst for Forest’s impressive run of form.

Worrall is by no means the finished article but he is already looking like a more polished defender following a year playing under Steven Gerrard at Rangers.
He has emerged as one of the surprise packages in the Forest team this season and as a boyhood Red, you can guarantee that Worrall will always give 125% for the badge upon his chest.
