3-0 Town.

Sorba 12'
Holmes 28'
Toffolo 49'

Forest fans have a shit day watching their team get pumped and we ruin the party atmosphere in the Sky studio completely.

We should bring Schindler back for this game then in that case, to stand on the touchline and make smouldering eyes at the Forest players. Job done lads.

Think our ace card is Tino. If you were there at Coventry when he came on against a very good side he blew them away. Unplayable

Notice carlos has kept him away for a while but that lad is a game changer and typically forest cannot do any homework on him as he is a totally unknown quantity.

I would not be at all surprised to see him start and forest players and management left scratching their heads how to deal with him.

Football now is all about preparing and knowing the opponents just as much as your own tactics. How do you prepare against someone who hasn't played much?

I am not particularly worried about the Forest game. We lose, so what, great season really proud and competitive football next year.

I have a feeling we will win however as Carlos will tactically out think and plan Cooper, just like he has done at least once to every manager since November.

From Carlos’ perspective Tino probably doesn’t give us enough defensively to start, doesn’t look like he’ll track his runner up and down for 90 minutes.

Think he’ll be seen as a bit of a risk - Carlos likes to soak up early pressure and then hit them late on. If we’re down at half time then it probably won’t be long before he gets brought on.

Would love to see him get plenty of time because like you say he was dynamite at Coventry.

Agree on having confidence in CC and his tactical superiority

Worry about Tino though, true he made a big impact at Coventry, but there were quite a few games in which he had no impact at all

I feel I’m in the Luxurious position of being very relaxed about either outcome. If we win and go up, great! But if we don’t and stay in the Championship, then that’s absolutely fine also. Add the financial boost that we’ll get whatever, it takes any pressure off for me. And in general, I think all the pressure will be on Forest. We’ve been there and done that recently. It’s a long long time since The Trees have. Whatever happens, Thankyou HTAFC for a very enjoyable season.

All the same you dont get to play off finals and not be bothered if you lose, if we dont win i'll be disappointed for sure, but probably not as much as any Florist supporter if they dont win, its their biggest day for years bless em, to us the playoffs are water off a ducks back, and we're quite good at them.

I don't like Forest but I'm finding the wind up stuff on twitter extremely embarassing from both sides.
Most of it isn't remotely funny.

Don’t read it then. It’s like saying I can’t stand The Sun, whilst reading The Sun.

Ward should be fit for the final all been well!

How is garners injury at forest?

We have just endured Sunderland week on Talksport and I notice Forest week started bright and early this morning. What an embarrasing bunch of shits they are

Well at this time a week today here’s hoping that our wonderful beautiful footy club Huddersfield Town have chopped down The Tretards of Nottingham Forest and are back in The Premier League -

This very time next week - Let’s Live the Dream

We'll defend and sit deep for the first half. They may score... they may not. 0-0 or 0-1 is OK at half time. The second half will be ours.

I reckon 1-1 into extra time and then I have no idea

Town Sponge. Suck it up and score 1-0 in 90 mins.

They've done well under Cooper. A few wobbles in recent weeks though.
They are for the taking!

It's too hard to call this one, it could go either way. I have a sneaky feeling that Forest will beat us, but it will be a decent game. Heart says Town obviously.
To see town go to the PL, not once, but twice...especially in a fairly short space of time... heffin dream!


I think we’ll be playing the officials as well. Big money wants Forest in the PL and will be putting pressure on the ref to ensure it. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a Town player sent off or another dodgy penalty awarded against us.

A sending off would be Towns' first this season, and would ruin the game as a spectacle for the viewers on Sky.

Forest can win games with minimal possession, so Town relying on this to stifle them isn't going to work, we need a plan. A recent game v Swansea saw 30% possession for Forest but they won 5-1, and could/should have been a lot more. Their power is pace, penitration and people who can shoot on target. Our back line will be tested, as will our wide midfield players. Swansea played 4 at the back and 2 sat in front , with 3 across midfield..it didn't help them.

Whether Cooper will play the same way, or become a bit more reserved in the final..don't know but if Town think a defensive ring across our box will work well they can hammer them in from 20 yards out too.

I'm no master tactician and like you think it's hard to call but we have to be 100% on our game ..Carlos and his team will be running through the possible permutations this week. I think our left flank is the strongest with Toffs, O'Brien and Thomas,central midfield I'm still not sure on Russell or Antorin...Sinani seems to have perked up and of course there's Hogg. Our right flank though..Turton or Pipa ?  Holmes...

Ultimately it may be we have most possession, play lots of good inter-passing football but Forest punish us for wayward passing and sting us on the break... I hope not obviously, and I hope Forest have an off day...and that the ref calls out the gamesmanship Forest are quite good at too.
