SOUTHEND United winger Mitchell Cole has dismissed Nottingham Forest as "just another League One team" ahead of his side's trip to the City Ground this Saturday.
Forest started the season favourites for promotion following their relegation from the Championship last year.
But the former European Champions currently sit ninth in the table after a slow start to the current campaign.
And Cole insists the high flying Shrimpers have nothing to fear against Gary Megson's outfit, whom they beat 1-0 at Roots Hall in October.
"Forest have a good history but right now they are a League One team and that's where I think they deserve to be," said the former Grays Athletic winger.
