Nottingham Forest have no game this weekend thanks to their elimination from the FA Cup and so instead will look to use this weekend to prepare and rest for a crucial Championship game next week.
The Reds are one of the sides capable of winning promotion this season and face a Brentford side next week that can have that description applied to them, too.
It should, then, be a cracking game between two very good sides and Forest could well be pleased to have no game this weekend so they can really prepare for it.
Aside from that, fans are also bound to want to see new players come in and sign for the club but some recent news actually refers to a potential exit; that of Claudio Yacob:
Claudio Yacob is seemingly on the verge of leaving #nffc. Always found it a tad strange he's not been involved more, given his experience at Championship level, but there we are…https://t.co/tG96WIXkJg

The holding midfielder has endured a lack of game time this season and could be on his way, with many Reds understanding that but disappointed all the same:

Liked him, always thought there was more to come, coaches failed to get the best out of him.

Class player. Ridiculous he hasn't been given game time with dross like Semedo and Bostock ahead of him.

Clearly doesn't fit into the Sabri style of play. Shame but seems the lesser spotted Yacob will be spotted elsewhere very soon…..#NFFC

Can only put it down to attitude surely not ability would have been the perfect replacement when sow was injured and we went into a tad of a slump
