Ipswich Town face a trip to Nottingham Forest at City Ground on Wednesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Tractor Boys will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 17 and win only 6 of the 28 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division One match.
