The Tigers suffered their first defeat of the season after losing 3-1 to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Goals from Yassine En-Neyah, Ateef Konate and Ethan Dekel-Daks condemned the Tigers to defeat, despite Josh Hinds scoring a consolation.
Richard Naylor and Andy Dawson made nine changes to the starting eleven that defeated Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at the KCOM Stadium last time out. George Long, Lewie Coyle, Brandon Fleming, Dan Batty, Sean McLoughlin, Jacob Greaves, Callum Jones, Billy Chadwick and Thomas Mayer were all replaced as only James Berry and Max Sheaf retained their position in the team.
