WE MUST KEEP UP THE PACE

Nuno warns his troops

- by RICHARD LEWIS

NOTTINGHAM Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo insists his high-flyers should not be classed as favourites against relegation-haunted Ipswich.

The Tractor Boys are five points adrift of safety in the bottom three while Forest are riding high in third.

But Ipswich made life tough for Forest in the last meeting between the two in November, going down to a second-half Chris Wood penalty in a narrow 1-0 loss.

Nuno (inset) is expecting more of the same when Kieran McKenna's men return to the City Ground on Monday night.
