Strikers Robert Earnshaw and Dexter Blackstock are pushing for Nottingham Forest starts against Doncaster at The City Ground tomorrow (kick-off 3pm).

Earnshaw stepped off the bench at Middlesbrough last weekend and snatched The Reds' deserved equaliser, while Blackstock hit the comeback trail as a sub at The Riverside Stadium after an injury lay-off.

Both men will be hoping they have done enough to force their way into Billy Davies' thinking for a starting role.

Loan signing Nicky Shorey will make his Forest debut following his arrival from Aston Villa as a replacement for Chris Cohen at left back.

The Reds will be without Nathan Tyson (calf) and Julian Bennett (knee), while Cohen must serve a one-match ban.
