Thoughts on Forest in the semis?

  1. Should be comfortable, no way they get as jammy as they did at the weekend across 2 legs. Should have pumped them by 3-4.

  2. Would take the exact scorelines we’ve had against them already this season in the league. 1-1 away and a 3-1 at home. Job done, no injuries, let’s move on.

    I think we will be fine as long as we avoid losing at the City Ground, which we’re more than good enough to do.

    If we take a deficit back to VP that could do funny things to the psychology of it all, but in an even game or better I’d be very confident

    Worst possible draw.

    I think they’re also better than their league position.

    I’d be happy with a draw away

    They have taken out all the teams i was worried about…so that means they are dangerous!

    Maybe if spurs can pick up some points, their attention might be elsewhere.

    We should be good over two legs but can’t take it easy and for granted

  6. If we play as well as we know we should, over 2 legs we should get through. If we drop a stinker then we will only have ourselves to blame.

    They are no mugs, have a strong midfield (Sangare, Anderson, MGW, Hutchison) and a few dangerous players coming back from injury (e.g. Wood). They are definitely better than their league position suggests.

    Having said that, if we can play like we did last night, and be more clinical than we were at theirs, we will blow them away.

    My thoughts are that we should win, if we perform like last night rather than last time we met forest we’ll be much better off.

    Would of preferred Porto but over two legs we should have enough, especially with their league concerns

    I’d back us to win at villa park but I’m very nervous about playing at the City ground in a semi final.

    But to win a cup you always have to win against the strongest teams eventually. It should be a good spectacle.

  11. Gonna be physically demanding, but we have the quality to win it. They were still pretty crap against Porto, who basically eliminated themselves.

    That said, we were the favourites in our last European semi final, and we got knocked out by an underdog team owned by Marinakis. So who really knows

  12. Even though we’ve already played them twice, the semi could all depend on the refereeing.
    As some don’t like tackling. Hopefully 1 that has common sense
