Sports Mole looks ahead to Nottingham Forest's trip to Blackburn Rovers in the Championship.

The owners of these two clubs came in for criticism last week when they decided to part company with their managers.

Both teams have played one fixture since the departures, with Blackburn Rovers tasting victory at the expense of Barnsley, while Alex McLeish's first match in charge of Nottingham Forest ended in a late draw with Crystal Palace.

Hosting Rovers could be without Ruben Rochina for the clash because of a leg injury, which could result in loanee attacker Colin Kazim-Richards earning a recall to the starting lineup.

Norwegian striker Josh King may also continue in the side following his goal against Barnsley.

Forest may be able to call upon Alan Hutton, who missed Saturday's fixture through illness.

Victory for Rovers, who will again be managed by Gary Bowyer, could lift them into the top half of the Championship table.
