Nothing to fear after last nights showing but we equally need to be better than the performance we put on, backing Jordan to steer his home again, UTT

Just enjoy it. Another day at Wembley. We are lucky. Some clubs will go their entire history never competing in a play off final.
If we win, great, if we don’t, let’s build and go again next season.
Will be a great day. Great for the club to be at Wembley again. Great for the young kids too, great memories.

Absolutely. Expected a relegation struggle this year. Still smiling that we’ve reached Wembley. Just going to enjoy the day out and applaud the team at the end, whatever the result.

Never, ever, want to see Town lose, but Trees will be firm favourites and are arguably the better side. On the basis that I never want to see Town lose, it would not be the worst thing ever to avoid weekly beatings in Prem.
I don't expect victory, but will be cheering the boys On nevertheless.
On the other hand, we can dream....🙏🙏

Call me pernickety, but how can Draw AET or Draw 90 mins be final outcome on the poll? |

I can’t say Id still be happy if we lose. Nothing beats that elation of a playoff win after such a long season of battling against everything, budget constraints, media dissing us at every available opportunity shite bias refs we deserve this and I along with thousands of others connected to this beautiful club do too.
saying that I will be cacking myself all game and be a complete mess at the end again! UTT 4-0

Well I've gone for Draw AET on the basis that I fully expect Putin to drop a nuke on Wembley at around 7pm. 🤪 Still going though. Never miss a game. 🤪 |

I'm not buying into the whole v Forest narrative...however the odds at the bookies are just baffling at the moment. Completely ignoring the fact that Forest actually lost last night and we placed above them through the season.
(From Examiner)
Sky Bet have Huddersfield Town priced at 11/4 (3.75) to win the game in 90 minutes while Forest are at evens (2.00). The odds of the game going to extra time are 12/5 (3.40). Town are 6/4 (2.50) to be promoted by any means, while Forest are 1/2 (1.50).

Same message as before the Luton games; trust Carlos and the team. All the words, rhetoric, hype and media focus (largely on how great it would be for Forest to be back in the Premier League) this comes down to those players, our coach and the belief they have. I have often rattled on about how important belief is, well these lads have it in spades.
My message to them is; keep doing what you have done, and got better at each week of the season, play for each other and trust Carlos. You will have all the support from the stands you need. Do it for yourselves, you deserve it and it will make thousands of people very happy.
For me it is as simple as that, for all the hot air that will be generated it comes down to heart, determination and, that word belief. It doesn't really matter what we think because these lads believe they can do it, the fact that 30,000+ of their best friends also do is a added bonus.
I thought 2017 was a once in a lifetime, that dreaded "moment in time". This season has proved this club can create many moments in time. Whatever happens on 29th May mustn't define our long term future. We aren't entitled, but we are capable of more than we allow ourselves to believe. May 2022 is confirmation that this club is capable of continuing to improve.
May 29th is about those players and Carlos achieving their own personal destiny. I wish them all the luck in the world and thank them for the most unexpected, but fantastic, season. I'll be proud to support you on Sunday week.
UTT

sadly I think they might just have too much for us. Hope we can win though. One thing is for sure is we will give it a go.
Worth going for the whole experience.

Obviously the prize money for the winner is huge, but am I right that it's also a bumper pay day for the loser too?

Forest aren't Liverpool, they're just an established championship side who have had a good season, we can win but will have to up our game from monday night, we can do that!

If we are honest, it’s been a while since we performed to the top of our abilities. Saving one big performance for when it really matters! |

Last night showed Forest are not invincible and they wobbled under the pressure of expectation. They will have magnificent support on the day and no doubt 5k at least more than us, but that could equally go against them if we can get a foothold in the game. Steve Cook's post match interview last night was quite revelatory ! |

I just hope we play on the front foot in the final. Press them high. Support the striker and get runners forwards when attacking. Don’t set up like the first half vs Luton. Too slow, everything through Hogg, not enough movement.
If we do miss out let’s go down fighting and really going for it.
I really wish Corberan would leave someone up when we defend corners too. Holmes or Sinani on the halfway to push some of their defence back and ensure any clearance we can chase and pressure rather than it just coming straight back.
Let them keep the hype and believe they only have to turn up to get promoted. It often doesn’t work out like that.

Let them keep the hype and believe they only have to turn up to get promoted. It often doesn’t work out like that. We’ve been at our best all season when we’ve soaked up the opposition attacks, worked out where the gaps are and countered at pace. We’ve also done well later in games when the opposition tires. I think these tactics are probably our best chance of a result against a very dynamic Forest attack. Happy to trust Carlos, we need to be better than we were against Luton, but we have it in us to beat Forest. |

It’s a pretty risky tactic when your ball retention and defensive discipline is as poor as it was on Monday night though. We need to be much less generous in giving them opportunities at Wembley |

Serious question..
Will our players be forming a guard of honour for “the former kings of England “ before the game🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Personally I think once they score their eighth goal Carlos will throw the white towel ont pitch to save us from further embarrassment..
We can only hope to bask in their glory for a short period before the inevitable happens..
Utft..

Really wanted it to be Sheff U before last night but having watched it I think Forest are better for us. Sheff U's midfield was strong and took over in the second half, that might have been a problem for us.
Forest not only tired but looked as though the expectation had really got to them. The space that Berge had is where Sorba will hopefully be operating, and they will find our set pieces a real nightmare. If we are level after an hour I think we are favourites.
Think of the outrage if the mighty Forest don't take their rightful place at the top table

To beat Forest we will need to be set up like we were away to Fulham and...Forest. Defending higher up the pitch and more aggressively than against Luton, with Hogg in midfield not pissing about at the back, and more threatening attacks that begin nearer the opposition goal.
