'Best in the league' - Rotherham boss Paul Warne makes Nottingham Forest claim

Rotherham boss Paul Warne says Nottingham Forest have the best front four in the league and feels the appointment of Chris Hughton is "some coup".

The two clubs go head to head on Tuesday night with the Reds hoping for a second successive win after Chris Hughton made the perfect start to his reign with a 1-0 win at Blackburn at the weekend.

Forest's victory at Ewood Park was also their first of the season after enduring a miserable start to the campaign which led to Sabri Lamouchi being axed as boss.

Now Forest are hoping they can begin to make inroads on the top of the table and Warne feels the Reds have an embarrassment of riches in attack with Lewis Grabban and Lyle Taylor supplemented by wingers Joe Lolley and Anthony Knockaert.

He said: "A Chris Hughton side will always be organised, and as we know about him, he’s a winner.

"He’s got teams promoted to the Premier League and it is some coup to get him at any club. Obviously, they’ve got Anthony Knockaert in as well now.

"You look at their front four and it’s probably the best in the league.

"Behind them they have Colback and Yates, so from a team view they are excellent.

"They have the quality to be in the top six, as they were for the majority of last season. They won at Blackburn at the weekend, which was an excellent result as well, it will be a very tough game."
