Veteran striker Andy Cole has admitted he is not happy to stay on the bench at Nottingham Forest.
Cole joined his home-town club on a one-year deal in the summer, but has started only once for Colin Calderwood's side.
He has made five substitute appearances for Forest and was given just a late run-out in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Charlton Athletic.
The former England international is eager to play on a regular basis and is likely to discuss his future with Forest boss Calderwood.
"I did not come here to sit and watch," Cole told the Nottingham Evening Post.
"If I am not going to [start] there is no point me being here.
"I've never picked up money for nothing in my career, and I'm not going to start now
;D

DOUBT today surrounded Andrew Cole's future at Nottingham Forest.
The club today insisted the striker was still a Forest player, with chief executive Mark Arthur refuting talk that Cole's contract had been cancelled by mutual consent.
But it is understood that the Nottingham-born former Manchester United and Newcastle star is increasingly frustrated at his lack of first team opportunities – and is requesting talks about his future.
Cole was left out of the squad altogether when Cardiff visited on Saturday, after starting the two previous matches against QPR and Ipswich.
And he had previously publicly expressed his dismay at finding himself on the sidelines earlier in the campaign, warning that he had not come to the club to 'sit on the bench'.
But with Joe Garner, Robert Earnshaw and Paul Anderson returning to full fitness – and Forest manager Colin Calderwood often favouring a three-man front line that includes two pacy wide-men – Cole is seemingly facing an even bigger fight to get into the team.
And it now appears that the 37-year-old is prepared to consider leaving the City Ground in search of more regular first team football.
Cole has started five matches and made six substitute appearances for Forest, but is still waiting for his first goal for the club he watched as a boy.

Rumours are that he has left, and also there has been a punch up between Smith and Wilson - apparently Smith is out the door as well!
It appears that Calderwood has lost the dressing room, and players are arguing/fighting etc.
Sunday could be his last game in charge if we win GT!

Former England striker Andrew Cole has left Nottingham Forest by mutual consent.
The Championship outfit announced that his contract had been cancelled on Friday, bringing to an end the Nottingham-born striker's short stay since his summer arrival from Sunderland.
Speculation in recent days suggested the 37-year-old had grown restless at a lack of opportunities at the City Ground, and he did not travel with the rest of the Reds squad for Tuesday's crucial 2-1 win away at Crystal Palace.
The former Manchester United player made 11 appearances for the club, including five starts, but failed to score.
Forest manager Colin Calderwood told the club's official website: "It's a shame things haven't worked out as well as we had both planned when Andrew joined us and we came to the joint conclusion that it was best we went our separate ways.
"All my attention is now focussed on preparing the squad for Sunday's game at Derby.
"But I would like to place on record my thanks for the contribution Andrew has made and wish him all the best for the future."
