Nottingham Forest - Porto

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

It's back to Europa League action next.

Can we finish the job?

To be played on Thursday 16th April 2026.

At the world famous City Ground in Nottingham.

Kick off for this one is at 20:00.

COYR!

[Sausage Roll]

Even if we keep the same line-up (or similar) to the last match we've got a chance. As long as we don't defend so badly as we did at the start of the away leg anyway. It's very nicely poised.

Want to get to the final now we've come this far.

But....

If we cant get there I would prefer it to be after a glorious occasion vs Porto than going out on a rainy night in Birmingham. Saves us 2 games as well. I know it doesnt work like that but you get where Im coming from.

Nothing less than a win

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

Of course I want us to win the EL.

But I can live with a defeat.

No disgrace in losing to Porto over two legs and we have had a great run in the competition.

Really hope we win but I certainly won't be winging if we lose.

Whatever happens we can be proud and hold our heads up high.

For me it's the same team as the 1st leg. The bulk from the 2nds with some 1st teamers to add some bulk.
I believe they can get the win with the same strategy at The World Famous City Ground.

I'll want to win obviously, but if we don't I wont be losing any sleep over it as I don't believe we can beat Villa over two legs. They're just too strong for us at this moment.

Can you imagine if we win this thing and get in the CL next season? What kind of players would we need to go for? What players would be wanting to come to us? Oh my, and we thought this season was a stuggle.

You'd think we'd get thrashed but don't forget Spurs finished top 8 in the CL, The PL is just so far ahead of the rest of Europe atm aside from a handful of super clubs.

Thought Porto are just a clinical striker away from being a top quality PL side.

Nah, their defence is actually quite poor when tested. 

Gyokeres looked like prime Ronaldo in the Portuguese league.

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Admittedly we hardly tested them. First time we played think it was 2 pens.

If we let them play football we will lose on Thursday. Agree having a go would probably be the best option.
