Post by: PaulWinch again on April 25, 2026, 07:49:03 PM: We should have hammered them in the last league game. We need to sharpen up and stop being so wasteful.

Post by: andyh on April 25, 2026, 08:28:48 PM: I just hope we turn up. 3rd (semi) time lucky ?

They will be massively up for it and know they need to make the home leg count.
I think we’ll be chasing the tie at Villa Park.

2-0 Forest.

1-0 to us. Ollie

Post by: rob_bridge on April 25, 2026, 09:23:43 PM: 2.1 to them

Post by: Steve67 on April 25, 2026, 09:32:53 PM: Torres up against Wood? Unai needs to think about that one as I think we will get bullied. I'd be really tempted to play Lindelof in this game. Buendia needs to be on the bench, far too soft for this sort of game.
