Bristol City goalkeeper Frank Fielding has admitted that he is hopeful of getting the better of Nottingham Forest once more this evening.
The 27-year-old won three out of three against the Reds when playing for arch-rivals Derby County between 2011 and 2013.
It has not been all happy memories for the Englishman, however, with a straight red card being issued to the shot-stopper early on in 2011's East Midlands derby encounter at the City Ground.
Speaking ahead of Friday's clash between City and Forest, Fielding told his side's official website: "Getting sent off in the first 60 seconds against them is probably the one I want to forget the most.
"It was so quick, straight from the kickoff; I didn't even bother getting a shower after the game! Luckily we still won the game. I've had mixed emotions and ups and downs against Forest.
"It's a good rivalry and I did tend to get the right results against them when I was at Derby, so hopefully that can be the same at Bristol City. I'm looking forward to it. It'll be a difficult game but one we have prepared well for again. As a whole squad we need to start getting results."
Fielding joined Bristol City on a permanent deal in 2013 after spending three years at Derby.
