Huddersfield Town claim to know Nottingham Forest's big weaknesses ahead of Championship clash

Huddersfield Town midfielder Lewis O'Brien says his boss Danny Cowley has identified some of Nottingham Forest's big weaknesses ahead this weekend's Championship clash - and his side have been working on exploiting them.

The two teams will meet on Sunday afternoon at the City Ground for Forest's first home game behind closed doors.

The famous stadium has been draped in banners by fan groups to show their support for Sabri Lamouchi's players with fans watching on from home, including one in the Trend End that reads: "Every single one of us remains right behind every single one of you."

Forest's home form this season has been far weaker than their away form, picking up 28 points from 18 matches at the City Ground.

They welcome a Huddersfield side, though, who struggle on the road and have scored only 21 goals on their travels - the fifth-worst in the division.

But despite defeat last time out against Wigan, the Terriers claim to know all about how to beat the Reds.

“We’ve done some video analysis on them [Forest] throughout the week and they’re a very good, fluent team going forward," O'Brien told Huddersfield Town's website.

"But we have identified some weaknesses that we can hopefully get through when we go there on Sunday," he added.

Both sides dropped points on their return to action last week with Forest falling foul to late Sheffield Wednesday goal.

But now they have had eight days to collect themselves.

“This week was probably the best week to [come off a poor result], " O'Brien continued as he pointed to his side's Wigan defat.

"No one wants to lose, but we’ve had the time to reflect and the time to build on it.

“We’ve looked at what went wrong and put that past us now. It’s been a very good week of training and we’re now focusing on Forest on Sunday.”
