DAW’S HOME COMFORTS

MICHAEL DAWSON believes Forest will be a force at the City Ground this season.

The unbeaten Reds host Birmingham today with four points from their first two home matches.

Garry Monk’s Blues arrive with just two points from their opening four games, despite some impressive displays.

Monk said: “It’s up to us to take advantage of the dominance and control we’ve been having in those games and take a reward from that effort.”
