Think they'll have to score at least 3 to beat us because I can't see them keeping a clean sheet.

Bit gutted we never took a couple more chances and they have snuck right back into it at the end. Hopefully we will still do it

Play like we did today and we should be fine. Hopefully we will pick them off

It helps that they have to go for it.
Hopefully we’ll have enough to pull them apart at home.

I really fucking hope we don’t capitulate as we tend to do in these games. We had more than enough to have ended today

Twice Samba came for a corner and never got there - but for Surridge it would have been 2-2 on Tuesday
I just pray we get an early goal Tuesday as my nerves are already fucked

Horvath didn't deserve to lose his place, for me. But I know that is an argument for another day. Samba has been really good since being back in but looked a bit dodgy yesterday.
Still feeling sick that we didn't come away with at least a 2 goal lead as a minimum. It's actually unbelievable.
There has got to be at least a few of their players feeling a bit weak mentally knowing they have to come to the City Ground to face this team now.
Those one off big FA cup game experiences at home might have given us an extra edge for this too.
I'm nervous but my gut feeling is that we are going to absolutely smash them on Tuesday, with the City Ground atmosphere bound to be red hot.

As much as I like Johnson, if his decision making were better we'd be 3 or 4 to the good going to the City Ground.
Anyway if we play like we did yesterday we will thump them. Nothing to fear from Hudds or Luton either. Coyr

Coyr[/quote Would have loved to have seen him slide the ball across to Davis for a tap into an empty net towards the end when his shot was blocked, that would have shown real composure. Love Cooper's assessment after again, 'not bothered about the chances missed that's in the past and we don't dwell on them, we keep creating the chances and we will be fine'? We just need to make it a cauldron on Tuesday and let the Ayers know we are right behind them and just go for sheff United's throat. |

No big deal we missed chances but we won we will score more goals at home 💪 (be a bigger problem if we didn't create the chances )

Great performance, gutted as anyone about the late goal, Samba was not getting anywhere near it.
First goal on Tuesday is huge, but play anything like we did 1st leg and convert the chances then should be fine.

Pre-match stats from Sky Sport.
Nottingham Forest have only lost one of their last 13 home games against Sheffield United in the second tier (W7 D5), while they are unbeaten in the most recent five, winning three of them (D2).
Sheffield United haven’t scored more than once away to Nottingham Forest in the second tier since May 1993, in a 2-0 victory. Indeed, their last 13 such trips have seen them score just seven times, and never more than once in a single game.
In the history of the second-tier play-offs, only one side has won the first leg of the semi-final away from home and then not gone on to reach the final, with Leeds doing so in 2018-19 vs Derby (1-0 first leg, 2-4 second leg).
Nottingham Forest have never won a home match in the Football League play-offs in four previous attempts (D2 L2), with one of those coming against Sheffield United in 2003, drawing 1-1.
Sheffield United have never won an away match in the Football League play-offs, playing eight away games without success (D5 L3), with their last such match a 5-5 draw with Swindon Town in 2015. The Blades have the record for competing in the most play-off campaigns without ever gaining promotion via that method (eight before this season).
Sam Surridge has averaged a league goal every 54 minutes for Nottingham Forest at the City Ground this season, netting five times in 271 minutes on the pitch. In his only two home starts for the club in the Championship, he has scored four times, including a hat-trick last time out versus Swansea.
Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp has scored four goals in six league starts against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, although none of the four were netted for his current club (two for Scunthorpe, one for Doncaster and one for Leeds).
Brennan Johnson scored Nottingham Forest’s second goal in their 2-1 victory in the first leg against Sheffield United. The only player to score in both legs of a play-off semi-final for Forest is his father David, who did so against Sheffield United in 2002-03, although they were eliminated 5-4 on aggregate.

Whoever gets to Wembley, Huddersfield wouldn't have been the favoured opponents.
