The side promoted from League One last season picked up a promising draw point on Saturday, holding Birmingham to a draw and next up they face Bristol City at Ashton Gate.
Forest currently lie in 23rd place, but success against one of the title favourites at the weekend has given them plenty of confidence.
The club's manager, Colin Calderwood believes that his side can get a result against Bristol City, but hopes his side can cope with the raised expectations of a draw against the Blues. He told teamtalk.com,
I see no reason why we can't be winning games against teams like Birmingham and Bristol City, we'll be going for three points."
