DAVID Platt showed his cards ahead of tonight's big match, revealing his belief that Wanderers could be undone by Forest's counter-attacking style.

Forest's 4-3 victory at Barnsley on Saturday was their fourth victory in six First Division away matches this season of which only one has finished in defeat.

It was typical of their swashbuckling style away from the City Ground where their fortunes have contrasted wildly with their impressive away form.

With defender Tony Vaughan and midfield man David Prutton available tonight after one-match bans, Platt has a strong squad and, he believes, a game plan which could test Wanderers.

He said: "Bolton could be susceptible to counter attacks which is the way we play away from home. If we can catch them on the break we should have a good chance."
