Not the priority I know but our first cup semi final in a fair few years and we should take the opportunity of playing Danilo, Scarpa and Lingard and getting at them in front of a full CG
Dangerous team going forward but I still think the defence creaks as loud as LVIV on a cold morning
I am going for a surprise 2-1 win
COYR 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Not sure if we will have enough over two legs but we can dream
I see no reason not to play our strongest team in both legs, as we have next weekend free and the Leeds game is on the Sunday

Would take just being in the tie to have any hope going to old Trafford. A 1-0 defeat wouldn't be the end of the world. A draw would be great a win even better ( know I'm staying the obvious)
I just wonder if it will go in our favour us playing a team that hasn't visited the city ground yet. Hopefully the United team think it will be a breeze and they just have to turn up, think they may be shocked by us cranking up to 11. If we get out the blocks fast and have an atmosphere like sheff united play offs last year then we may come away with something very respectable.
Head says 1-2 united
Heart says a repeat of the pandemonium against leicester in cup last year and we get a couple of early goals... 3-1 ha

Have to say, this forum isnt nearly so colourful without him. Good chance here to blend in the new signings. But winning over two legs feels somewhat unlikely. |

Yes Ben. Unfortunately I'm in a WhatsApp chat group with him. Senile old git is still trying to put the world to rights, unless he's pissed, in which case you need a codebreaker to decipher what he's typed.  |

I'll be happy if we can do enough tonight to keep the tie open. The return leg will be a non event if United take a 2 or 3 goal lead to Old Trafford.

I was in the Spanish not long ago. Couldn't see anyone with a plate piled high with cheese and onion cobs though. Ask him to return to the Forum. Miss him and Rich B. |

If as said Man Utd defence is weak then will we play a striker?
Hoping Scarpa will start and although early days Danilo could play a part.
Need MGW and Lingard if he plays on the ball alot more than when we played on them at Old Trafford.
Most important keep it tight at the back and we have a chance.

I must say they were funny times - he was a top bloke to be fair and we had some right laughs The forums are not as lively as they used to be - there were times I would be pissing myself laughing And all the dopes on Facebook are as dull as dishwater when it comes to wind ups Golden times on the old forum and TalkForest 😂😂😂 |

Tbf Boly struggled against Bournemouth. Maybe not fully fit. Where's Wood, cuptied? |

Still backing the boys, but that was one of the worst examples of defending from forest that I think I've ever seen.
Rashford just runs down the wing take some step inside and runs between freuler and worrall like they ain't there and side foots it in. Yes he is quality but come on guys either one could have attempted to slide in there. Worrall jsut let's him chop inside him then run away from him

Shocking defending, Wirral looking out of his depth and WTF do we take stupid short corners that lead to other teams hitting us on the break
