Breckin: We'll be ruthless!

SKIPPER Ian Breckin has warned Weymouth that Forest will be ruthless against them on Saturday.

The defender - a close friend of Terras striker Kirk Jackson - believes Gary Megson's outfit will have too much class for the Terras.

He told Echosport: "Facing Weymouth in the first round of the FA Cup is a banana skin for us but, at the same time, it's a game we're really looking forward to.

"The big advantage we have is that we're playing at the City Ground where we've got a good record. We've only lost one of our last nine home games.

"The thing we're going to have to watch is making sure we're not complacent.

"It'll be a great day for Weymouth and I'm sure all their supporters will enjoy the occasion but we can't get wrapped up in the cup upset thing.

"The FA Cup is a competition we want to do well in, because our fans deserve it and I'm hopeful we can have a good run.

"But while we'll certainly respect Weymouth, we want to win as comfortably as we can and that means being ruthless.

"I don't know much about Weymouth, apart from what Jacko occasionally tells me, but I'm sure they're hopeful of causing an upset.

"What we've got to do is forget about the fact they are a non-League club and think of the game as a ordinary Coca-Cola League One fixture.

"We've got a lot of good players here who should, on paper at least, be too good for Weymouth. Hopefully that'll be the case."

Following relegation last season, miserable away form this term has left Forest tenth in League One.

Recent results included crashing 3-0 at Yeovil Town, a scoreline that has given Terras fans confidence ahead of the big clash.

• A fleet of nine Terras Supporters' Club-organised coaches will be departing the Wessex Stadium at 7.30am prompt on Saturday.

Pick-up points are from Portland (7am), Wyke Smug-glers (7.15am), Alf's Fish and Chip shop (7.15am), Hotel Prince Regent (7.15am), Weymouth Bay Holiday Park, Preston (7.15am) and Tesco, Dorchester (7.45am).

Fans booked on the Terras special train service should be at Weymouth station by 7am for a 7.10am departure.

The service, operated by Heritage Train Tours, is due to arrive at Nottingham by lpm and depart for the return journey at 5.45pm.
