Grosicki latest
Nottingham Forest look set to face competition for Kamil Grosicki if they rekindle their interest in the Poland international in the January transfer window.
The Reds had agreed terms with the West Bromwich Albion winger on domestic deadline day last month, but there was a dispute about whether paperwork was submitted in time.
The English Football League argued the club had missed the cut-off point, and an arbitration hearing ruled against Forest in their bid to challenge that decision.
Forest boss Chris Hughton said it was “hugely disappointing” to miss out on signing Grosicki.
Taylor's boost
Lyle Taylor's attempts to raise funds for Cancer Research UK have been given a significant boost after Nottingham-based firm UK Meds donated £1,000 to the cause.
The online pharmacy had promised to donate £500 towards Lyle’s Pink October fund for every goal he scored and £1,000 for every goal he scored against local rivals Derby County.
And he banked a four-figure sum when he slotted in against the Rams in the 64th minute as the game finished 1-1 between the arch rivals last month.
Taylor has dyed his hair pink and has worn pink boots throughout October, the colours that signify breast cancer awareness month.
And the whole of the Forest team also got behind Taylor's campaign for the Derby clash by wearing special UK Meds branded pink training shirts to warm up in.
Yates' message
Ryan Yates is confident Nottingham Forest will beat Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday - so long as they 'win the right' to do so.
The Reds go into today's game as favourites to beat the relative minnows of the Championship.
However, both teams have only won two matches this season with Wycombe beating Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham in their previous two outings.
Yates feels Forest should be winning home games though as they look to back up Wednesday's dramatic 2-1 victory against Coventry City, which was their first win in eight at the City Ground.
"You have to win the right to win any game," he said.
Clough's back
Nigel Clough is back in football - at Mansfield Town.
He has been appointed manager of the Stags on a deal until June 2023.
Chairman John Radford and co-chairwoman Carolyn Radford said: “Nigel has an outstanding pedigree in football and a proven track record of significantly improving the teams he has managed.
“He brings 20 years’ managerial experience to the club and can provide the stability and leadership which we require at One Call Stadium."
