Forest are unbeaten away from home this season, including a 1-0 win at Plymouth last Sunday.

But they have already lost three times at the City Ground, leaving them 17th in the table after nine games.

And although Gunter is calm about their early-season league position, he is aware their home form will be central to defining their season.

"We have done really well away from home but that won't count for anything if we don't win our home games," he said. "Your home games are where you should be picking up the majority of your points and we need to start on Wednesday.

"With 46 games in a season after nine games there is no need to be looking and thinking we are in a spot of bother because we know how many games there are."
