Dougie to the rescue?published at 18:47 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February 2015
Dougie Freedman takes charge of his first home game as Nottingham Forest manager tonight (19:45 GMT) when they face Wigan Athletic.
The ex-Forest striker said: "To walk out in front of the fans at the City Ground will be such an honour. I have to pinch myself when I think that I'm the manager of Nottingham Forest but it is a moment that I've worked very hard for over the years."
Forest have slipped from top of the table to mid-table (and seven points above the relegation zone), causing Stuart Pearce to be sacked and Freedman hired.
"Oh for a problem like Forest's," Wigan fans will be thinking. Less than two years after winning the FA Cup, the Latics are eight points adrift of safety in the Championship.
Boss Malky Mackay could hand a debut to on-loan Hull defender Harry Maguire, while Liam Ridgewell returns to Portland Timbers after the match.
