Doncaster Preview
Nottingham Forest will be hoping their first visit to The Keepmoat Stadium proves to be a successful one as they go head-to-head with promotion rivals Doncaster tomorrow night (kick-off 7.45pm).
With Forest 11 points adrift of second-placed Carlisle and with just eight games left, manager Colin Calderwood knows his side much claim maximum points from the trip to Yorkshire if they are to keep alive their slim automatic promotion hopes.
But Doncaster will certainly feel they are still in the hunt for a top two finish, as they are only five points adrift of Carlisle - although they have played a game more than both the Cumbrian outfit and Forest.
Injuries and suspensions
Kris Commons is a doubt for the trip to South Yorkshire. The midfielder, who returned to Colin Calderwood's starting-line against Brighton on Easter Monday, is suffering from a thigh injury.
Forest's medical staff will closely monitor Commons before making a final decision on his availability.
Colin Calderwood has admitted that one or two other members of his squad are nursing one or two knocks - although nothing that is expected to keep them out of the game.
New loan goalkeeper Dimi Konstantopoulos, who has checked-in at The City Ground from Coventry for the remainder of the season, will be in the squad but Paul Smith is expected to keep his place in goal.
Forest will, however, be without the suspended James Perch and the injured Arron Davies (hamstring).
Doncaster, meanwhile, are not reporting any new injury concerns and could welcome back Jim O'Connor, who missed their Easter Monday game against Oldham with a sore tendon.
Keep an eye on
Former Forest man Gareth Taylor is still waiting to make his first start for Doncaster following his arrival at The Keepmoat Stadium from Tranmere during the January transfer window.
But the Welsh international has figured for Rovers as a substitute on a regular basis and will be hoping to make an even bigger impact against The Reds.

Last time out
Frustration was the over-riding emotion in the Forest camp after a goalless draw with Doncaster at The City Ground in October.
Luke Chambers and substitute Grant Holt had opportunities to break the deadlock but failed to capitalise.
The best opportunity of the game fell to Chambers in the closing stages but the right-back was unable to get a touch from point blank range to a tantalising cross as it flashed across the face of goal.
Holt, meanwhile, tested Doncaster's experienced goalkeeper Neil Sullivan with a powerful header from a Kris Commons cross 11 minutes from time.
And then in the dying seconds of the game he could only poke an effort wide of the target at full stretch from a superb Commons free-kick.
Doncaster also had opportunities - midfielder Mark Wilson hammered a long-range shot against the woodwork, while James Hayter found a way past Paul Smith only to have his effort ruled out by an offside flag.
