'Bring it on!' - Nottingham Forest fans are loving the thought of facing Derby County three times this season

Nottingham Forest will play host to fierce rivals Derby County in the second round of the Carabao Cup - and fans are loving the thought of a three-derby season.

The Reds put aside lower league Fleetwood Town in the opening round and have been rewarded for their efforts with what's arguably the tie of the round.

Thirteen Premier League outfits joined the draw at this stage, but it was East Midlands rivals Derby who were tasked with making the trip to the City Ground in a couple of weeks.

And it's safe to say, Forest fans are pretty excited.

Adam Webster: I am not mentally ready for this Derby game.

Andrew Sim: If Forest play anything like they did tonight then that's Derby into the next round.

Chris Watson: That's a nice low key draw!

Ewan Owens: I like the look of that.

Dave Holmes: You just know it’s going to a shootout and I’m going to have multiple heart attacks.

Kyle Holland: Perfect draw, let's have the Sheep.

Greg Oram: The Brian Clough trophy is up for grabs three times this season then!
