Blackpool face a trip to Nottingham Forest at City Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Seasiders will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them taste defeat on 19 occasions, and draw 14, from the 36 games played.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2008, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.
