Andy Reid is all set to make his return to The Reds starting line-up when they take on Watford at The City Ground tomorrow afternoon. Reid's return will prove to be an immense boost in a  must win game for the side.

The Republic of Ireland's participation in tomorrow's game could be essential if Joe Kinnear is to keep his job. Kinnear has become under increasingly heavy pressure after talks of a promotion push pre-season turned sour. Forest currently find themselves being sucked into a relegation dogfight.

Fellow Irishman John Thompson could also be making his return to the side as he has recovered from an injury which he picked up during ever the Reds U.S. pre-season tour.

Kinnear said: "Andy will be back in the squad as he has been training well this week and that will be a big bonus for us.

"John came through 90 minutes in the reserves and he should be in contention for a place on he bench as well."

Jon Olav Hjelde could also be back in the frame.
