Nottingham Forest Pre-match news
Rovers' new signings Adam Henchcliffe and Luke Edwards could make their first appearance at the Moat in this season's first Bass Charity Vase game against Nottingham Forest tonight.
Both players are on a non-contract arrangement with Blue Square North side Tamworth but a gentleman's agreement between the two clubs will allow them to play for Rovers.Midfielder Carl Slater, who is recovering from a knee injury and striker Paul Edwards could also make an appearance.
Manager Gary Norton said: "There will be fewer triallists involved tonight and I am trying to make some decisions based on the Borrowash game.
"It will be a more experienced side with the likes of Paul Edwards, Carl Slater, Adam Henchcliffe and Luke Edwards forming part of my 16-man squad.
"Carl has continued to do strengthening work and is available, while Paul has been doing a lot of fitness work on his own and will probably start tonight.
"Luke will probably start on the left and I am very excited by what I've seen and what Nuneaton boss Gary Mills has told me about him. Adam's preferred role is in central midfield, but he can also play wide."
