NOTTINGHAM Forest must make the City Ground an even more intimidating place to visit if they are to repeat their promotion challenge of last season, Luke Chambers warned today.

The Reds demonstrated incredible form on home turf as they finished third in the Championship last time out, winning 18, drawing two and losing only three of their league games there.

And defender Chambers wants Forest to be even more dominant this time round.

Forest were held to a draw by Leeds in their opening home game and drew again with Norwich last weekend.

And Chambers, who is enjoying a run in the side at right-back, says Forest must step things up again to match the unbeaten run they built in the second half of the last campaign.

"We have to make the place a fortress again," he said.

"It has to be at the front of our minds that we should be claiming three points every week.

"We have to make it a very difficult place to come again."

Chambers says Forest should not be too disheartened by their stuttering start to the new campaign, in terms of results.

"We had a slow start last season," he said. "But if you look back at that, our performances this season have been much better; much more encouraging.

"We have more than enough players in that dressing room to cause any team problems."

    “There is more to what's going on at the City Ground than meets the eye. I can tell you - as we were all told by Preston - Billy is pure poison.

    It saddens me to see fans turn on an owner and board that's done so much for a club as a result of BDs failings. You can bet that BD has turned down whatever options the board has put forward - that's why there have been no signings.

    BD is good coach, but addicted to high profile signings, and if he doesn't get his way, everyone else is to blame.

    The only reason Forrest have has such a bad start to the season is down to BD - his chance to prove his point that more big signings are essential.

    I dread to imagine what he's going to do with your demoralised squad no his bullying tactics haven't paid off”
