  It's such a shame Andy Reid is not back fit yet.Like every Nottingham Forest fan, I hoped he would be ready to return to action for the Reds around now, after his groin operation in January.So I'm disappointed he's not recovered as quickly as originally expected and that he's not putting a timescale on his return.I'm gutted for Forest because he's such a good player, but more so for Reid (pictured) himself because he's been sidelined for a long time now and it's not nice.The good thing
