Forest started off the month of October well, drawing npower League 1 side Tranmere

for the next stage in their strive for the Capital One Cup. Quite a contrast to their previous opposition in the competition (Southampton). Following the favourable draw, the Reds played recent relegates Q.P.R and in succession they player Brighton & Hove Albion. Both matches ending in the way every fan hoped.
Frank Lampard's comments prior to the start of the season, of growth and reshaping, have all but been irradiated. The mediocre season many fans expected has turned out to be the season that every fan has wished for, so far. The win against Premier League side Southampton has to be the highlight of the young season so far.

More highlights so far of October is that new signing Harry Forrester managed to pull his first goal for the club in the game against Q.P.R earlier. Further on players Danny Collins and Lee Tomlin made it onto team of the week after their recent form in the league. Unfortunately to top off all the good fortune for Forest Marc Albrighton was injured in the Brighton & Hove Albion game and he will be out for two months with fractured ribs. A big loss for Nottingham, they will have to look to youngster Chris Gadi to step up in his place.
