Walsall manager Dean Smith has spoken to the local press about the Saddlers' Capital One Cup Round 1 clash with Nottingham Forest and has admitted that Forest are one of the toughest opponents they could have got.
Speaking to the
Walsall Advertiser, Smith said: "Our record (which sees the Saddlers' undefeated in the last eleven meetings) against them puts a bit of pressure on me, then!
"We've got a decent record in the first round of this competition but Nottingham Forest are up there with one of the toughest opponents we could have got.
"It will be a test but it is a good stadium to go and play your football in and it will certainly be a good chance for us to see where we are at."
