Defensive change as Rovers face Forest

01 October 2010 16:28
Rovers without key defender for visit of Nottingham Forest Nottingham Forest are once again expected to be without striker Rob Earnshaw because of a thigh injury. Otherwise, manager Billy Davies has a fully-fit squad but has said he will make changes from the side that drew 1-1 with Sheffield United in midweek.A win on Saturday would be Nottingham Forest's third in five matches - and the club's first away victory against Doncaster since 1956. It would also be Rovers' first home loss of the season. The Yorkshire side will be glad to return to the Keepmoat Stadium after back-to-back away defeats. They lost at Coventry in midweek after causing leaders QPR plenty of problems before going down 3-0. Forest are unbeaten in eight league games, but six of those have been drawn - five of them 1-1. Billy Davies' side are Championship's draw specialists, which will need to change if they are to again challenge for promotion. All but one of Forest's nine league matches this season have either been drawn or decided by a single goal. Davies has hinted that he will now make changes in a bid to tip the balance in their favour.
