Calderwood's side are four points adrift of safety

Nottingham Forest manager Colin Calderwood believes his side are in great shape ahead of their upcoming run of crucial matches.

Before Christmas the Reds, who are 23rd in the Championship, face a number of sides in the lower part of the table.

Calderwood told BBC Radio Nottingham: "People who have watched us are quite complimentary and they know they are in for a tough game.

"I wouldn't want to change what we've got right now."

Forest face Norwich on Saturday, who sit just outside the Championship relegation places in 19th place.

I think we are bringing a bit of enjoyment to the supporters Colin Calderwood

This is followed by matches against Doncaster, Barnsley, Coventry, Sheffield United, Blackpool and Southampton.

Calderwood added: "Are we going into in good heart, do we look as though we can win games, do we look as though we can score, the answer is yes to all those questions.

"I think we are bringing a bit of enjoyment to the supporters, I love the effort my team give."
