The best part of being in the final is the anticipation and excitement beforehand. Going down to London, having a few drinks with 1,000s of fellow fans,going into the stadium...players coming onto the pitch.
The next 90,120 or 150 minutes is usually hell... If you lose (a la Pbro) it's crap, but if you win ...oh my Lord.
Then you kick off in the PL and you think,,Oh, shit!

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. If we play 3 at the back we'll get mullered..so Turton, Lees,Colwill,Toffolo.. And Hogg deep midfield...Will he start Sorba, can he do 90/120 mins ? Rhodes or Ward ? |

CC and Jorge setup 3 at the back, when the opposition play 2 up top. |

I honestly have no idea how he will set up. I don't think Steve Cooper will either!

Remember all the pressure is on Forest. This is a big day out for them lot - never been to new Wembley and never in top division this millennium. They’ll be like kids at Xmas.
Let them sell out and enjoy their big day out in the big city. It’s all old hat for us.
So let us concentrate on what we we do best. Stay under the radar and win play offs.😂😂😂

We have to make sure that Toffolo isn't left to manage on his own and nor is O'Brien permanently kept there. If we do play 3 at the back, I might be tempted to get Colwill to man-mark Johnson. |

So long as he's up to the pace from the start...looked a mile off against Luton As per the expert comments from last night.. Johnson clearly has an ongoing back problem, best clatter him early and take one for the team?  ?? Goodman would probably argue that but he went with the shithousing when it was Forest doing it.. |

Think the first 60-70 minutes are absolutely crucial to our chances. Forest like to fly out of the traps, energetically pressing and trying to go at teams from the off, but from what I’ve seen lately look absolutely out on their feet around the hour mark. If we’re still in the game at that point I fancy us to win.

The media furore over Forest and the complete lack of expectation around us suits me right down to the ground. All the pressure is on them.
I genuinely can't think of anyone who would be calmer in that dugout than Corberan on the 29th May. Someone else put this more eloquently than I will but I know for a fact he won't let the occasion get to him - to him Wembley is just another 115 yard × 74 yard field of grass to win a football match on. One more game. UTT.

I read a lot about certain teams going into games with 'pressure', but i dont think theres much in it tbh, maybe it might affect some players but generally i dont think it has that much of an influence, hope it does on the 29th though.

Forest crap at set piece defending and we are pretty good at them
Also Samba... That boy has more than one mistake in him a game. He was outstanding last night no doubt but I have a feeling he will have a bit of a shocker against us. That back 4 in front of him are pretty average.
Forests asset is pace on the wings and the no. 9 Davis I think was excellent when he came on. A handful.
Nullify that and we win. Carlos will have a plan. He always does.
Not scared whatsoever. Bring it on

For me they have 2 good players - Spence and Johnson - the rest are no better that Town have. To counter we have Thomas and LOB is due a good game. Goalies....very good on both sides. Nicholls just pips it for me.
It will be a very tight game and if it comes to pens well who knows.
Hard to call this one for me I am afraid but maybe our "ace in the hand" will be Anjorin who will make himself a Town legend with a late winner. As always if we lose then as long as we can hold our heads up and say "we gave everything" then there is absolutely no shame in that.

Thing I'm most concerned about is will dealing with Johnson nullify Tofolo or will we trust in Sarr or Colwill to cope against him and try to put the pressure on them? |

Just seen an article on the unexamined. It’s says the media bias is justified because the trees haven’t been in the top flight for 22 years? So if that’s the justification why the media bias when we got promoted to the top flight after a 46 year absence? Nottingham is a northern town Gary Neville? Where was our “media coverage?” Fucking dog shit response examiner shake yer head have a word! We are the town and we are going up

Feel a bit sorry for Pearson who's been a big part of our defence most of this campaign. Lees is playing at his maximum just now though, but my concerns are over Colwill,Sarr and Pipa who to me all have a mistake in them.
Turton has done well so I'd have him in a back 4..with Toffs at lb. We can't afford to leave space behind our fullbacks or we will be fully exposed.. I remember that 1st half at forest in the cup where Ruffles had an absolute nightmare at lb and was taken off at half time..

Mayne the Keighley lad will come good for the final. All been a bit quiet on his condition for a few days. Would be nice to be 4-0 up with 10 mins left and bring him on to see the game out

Nichols
Turton Lees Colwill Toffs
Russell Hogg Obrien
Sorba Ward Holmes/Koroma (is he fit?)
At any rate I would play someone up front on our left to keep Spence busy
