Let's face it, we would rather be facing Porto, least of all because it doesn't feel like a European tie, but Forest it is and for all the progress we have made, we need to win this tie. The no show at Wembley still haunts as does the failure 12 months prior to that, so for third time in 3 years it needs to be 3rd time lucky and that starts by coming away with something from Nottingham.
Fulham was actually quite typical of Emery's reign, every now and again we throw in a stinker but they are rare, and rarely consecutive. We all know which players we need and which ones we don't but I can't help thinking that Onana being fit may be key to our European hopes, we can overcome his absence domestically.
They will throw the tables and chairs at us, particularly 2nd half but a stoic defensive display could yield more than perhaps we expect.
0-2
