Comeback trio Nathan Tyson, Gary Holt and Scott Dobie are all expected to feature in Forest’s reserve clash with Birmingham City tonight at Solihull Borough. Nathan Tyson, of course, already played 25 minutes in both a reserve friendly, and the weekends first team match against Brentford in his bid to regain full fitness, and will be keen to get plenty of games under his belt to build upon his fitness and match sharpness, particularly given his high-fallutin’ ambitions to top the Forest scoring table by the end of the season!
Dobie has shrugged off the latest of his many many injuries (this time a thigh injury), and is likely to partner Tyson up front – both players being predicted to take a place in the starting eleven in the fixture. Which will certainly give our forward line for the evening a different dimension, and certainly a pacey one. It gives Calderwood a good opportunity to tinker with is striking options as he begins to plan how best to keep so many fit strikers happy, and hopefully a sustained chance to assess the merits Dobie can bring to the team, given his injury record since Calderwood’s arrival.
Gary “three lungs” Holt has recovered following the surgery on his knee cartilage, he’s not been stated as a likely starter in the match, but is likely to feature in some capacity – given our run of form since his absence, he’s going to have to work hard to win his place back in the side, so I’m sure he’ll be keen to be involved in reserve team action as soon as possible to get back his fitness and start to press his claim to first team action again. Good news all round!
