Its quite alarming that suddenly people think Nottingham Forest have morphed into prime Barcelona over the past week.

They don't need to morph. They just need us to be Aston Villa when the pressure's on.

I’m hoping the nervousness focuses the mind. It was never going to be easy, so respect for the opposition can only help.

Well they scored 9 of their 10 shots on target the last two matches and of 20 overall shots. Seems they either have definitely hit on a way to guarantee goals or they have just been lucky to play two leaky defences.

They're still Nottingham Forest, and it's still the case that if they beat us over two legs, it'll be because we haven't turned up.

A combination of this and the fact we choke in Semis

Their current form is much better than ours so it’s hard to call. They are playing so much better than when Dyche was in charge.

They are more solid. I suspect the last two games are anomalies as they weren’t exactly prolific goalscorers before. But let’s be clear, we should have been out of sight when we played them. Rory’s point stands, across 180 minutes if we don’t go through it’ll be because we’ve underperformed.
