Nottm Forest gaffer Paul Hart is still on the trial of Fulham's John Collins to boost Forest's promotion push. Paul Hart believes John Collins can stabilise Forest's little down turn in fortune and get back on the promotion push , Forest currently lie in 3rd place but have lost the last 3 away games on the bounce.

Paul Hart has been tracking Collins for some time now and has already had one approach turn down by John Tigana due to European commitments for Fulham.

With Fulham out of the UEFA Cup the deal may be resurected , Collins has also been out of favour at Fulham being squeezed out by Japanese star Inamoto.

Expect Paul Hart to be knocking on Tigana's door very soon as Tigana may not prevent Collins leaving.
