Bristol City could have Christian Ribeiro and Jon Stead fit for the trip to in-form Nottingham Forest. Defender Ribeiro has been nursing a knee injury while striker Stead has seen his ankle problem settle down after an injection. Boss Keith Millen has further injury problems at the back with Louis Carey (calf), Lewin Nyatanga (Achilles), Jamie McAllister (calf), Nicky Hunt (hamstring) and James Wilson (knee) all receiving treatment. Midfielders Danny Rose (back and hamstring), Cole Skuse and Gavin Williams (foot) are also carrying knocks. Last season`s top scorer Nicky Maynard, who has missed the entire campaign following knee surgery in the summer, is closing in on a return and could be involved against Swansea or Preston next week.
