Can hardly say we are favourites this time around….
Nottingham Forest have gone unbeaten in 10 games in all competitions for the first time since January, 2016 (13), and for the first time as a top-flight side since November, 1995 (10).

Obviously we're screed forever now too.

We played with concrete boots on that’s why.

I think I’d genuinely rather be playing Arsenal or Man City on Thursday.  They are absolutely flying.

Yep, I think we're getting splattered.

Still think we'll get CL though by finishing 5th...

We seem to always bottle the pivotal games under Unai. I think we’ll get Champions league football, but boy what an anti climax that will feel after losing yet another semifinal. We’ll be knocked out in heartbreaking style. I’ve been conditioned by Villa to believe this, with most knockout games. We are the ‘unlucky Alf’ of cup football

Oh Bugger...

Their last two away games against Sunderland and Chelsea they have scored 8 times from 10 shots on target and 16 shots altogether. They are certainly being clinical at the moment. (Also 4 from 4 on target against Burnley). In those two away matches they have also conceded 1 from 35 shots at goal.

We’re favourites to win the match, but outsiders (just) to qualify

Wonder if Prince William is going? Need a lucky mascot

Can't he do something unconstitutional to Forest and get away with it?

If he attends, I'll be more confident of Forest being pegged back.

I can't buy into Forest have it all to lose, The pressure is completely on us down to our making.

Forest have secured premier league status which looked unlikely a few months ago and now could put the cherry on the cake. If they lose it would be disappointing but im sure they happy to have turned their season round.

We on the other hand if we don't actually win anything and then fail to qualify for the champions league are a bit screwed.

Conversely it is the type of thing that is likely to go pop very quickly. Before this run they had been on a shocking run for goal scoring. Hopefully their luck hits an absolute brick wall on Thursday.

Thay sort of thing ended with Andrew's arrest.

My Wolves son-in-law says Perreira started like a train ,winning six on the bounce.Then it all came crashing down,couldn't get a point.There's hope.
