'Only prize' - Nottingham Forest fans deliver message in time for Derby County clash

Nottingham Forest fans are gearing up for the next instalment of the East Midlands derby this weekend.

Forest host arch rivals Derby County at the City Ground tomorrow (Saturday, 12.30pm), looking to strengthen their position in the Championship's top six, while denying the Rams a move into the top half before the 3pm kick-offs get underway.

Sabri Lamouchi's side will also be aiming to keep hold of the Brian Clough Trophy, which they defended with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Derby in August's Carabao Cup tie.

Ahead of the game, some Forest supporters have been having their say on that aim...

@RichardM8422: Only prize that matters is 3 points.

@CapitalR: We got this

Simon Plackett: Keep it ours please boys!

Lennon Want: Come on forest !

Tom Home: YOU REDS!

Other fans, meanwhile, have been reacting to the on the state of the City Ground pitch.

Concerns were raised among some supporters as flooding hit areas in the East Midlands - but Forest said this evening (Friday) that there was no planned pitch inspection at this stage.

@NFFCRED: Best news!

@AndyJohnson9511: Thanks guys

@rambler82: Good for such early information.
