Ian Holloway faces selection problems in defence as he looks to turn around Blackpool's npower Championship slump against Nottingham Forest.

Holloway's early-season pacesetters suffered a fourth defeat in five league outings against managerless Lancashire rivals Burnley on Saturday.
They did so without the services of Craig Cathcart, who suffered a calf injury in the warm-up to force Ian Evatt into the starting line-up despite his own issues with a knee complaint.
"I doubt very much he (Cathcart) will have any chance for Tuesday.," Holloway told the Blackpool Gazette. "Ian Evatt's knee has also been locking.
"We've had a scan on that and he has quite bad bone bruising, so he could do with a rest really. That's the reason he was named on the bench on Saturday, but it's a good job I put him on the bench."
Kirk Broadfoot could come into the heart of the defence should Holloway opt not to risk Evatt, while veteran forward Kevin Phillips is set to be sidelined with a calf strain.
