Pearce aiming for Chesterfield revenge

The former England international was in temporary charge of the Reds at the time and said ahead of the Carling Cup clash: “Chesterfield are a decent side. I know from bitter experience what they are all about.

“Forest were in the Premier League when we went there in the fifth round of the FA Cup and if we had won we would have faced Wrexham in the quarter-finals.

“But we didn't play particularly well and Chesterfield deserved to go through.”
