Forest or Huddersfield?

[tiger76]

Forest too for me as not only should it make our life a little easier next season, it would also make life more difficult for Leeds to escape next season too as I think they’d have more of a chance surviving than Huddersfield..

If Forest do go up I can see them surviving next season, they've got goals in their side, and they'll win games in the PL, especially with their fans backing them at home.

[Chobulous]

You need a new MO.

If I was to have guessed at any one poster saying a club “belongs” in the top league, I’d have guessed correctly.

No one belongs there. You earn it.

I used to think if you didn’t feed him he would eventually go away but alas up to now there’s no sign of it happening.
Maybe now we are a division below he will go marching on together with someone else.

[Vegas Claret]

seems to be a load of empty seats in the Huddersfield end

[Venkys4eva]

Now that we are down I want forest to go up. Had we stayed up it would of been Huddersfield.

Same thoughts.

Tinpot, even we took half the town and sold the gaff out

[Bosscat]

Not fussed either way, hoping for a 5-5 draw at fulltime, 7-7 after extra time and 30-29 on penalties

[Conroysleftfoot]

Good to see both teams playing in their normal strips, instead of some made-up 2nd attire.

[ClaretTony]

I’d rather Huddersfield go up which probably means Forest will

[TheFamilyCat]

I was on the train to London this morning. Plenty of Huddersfield fans on the train. Took me back to 2009 and our big day out.

Both sets of fans drinking together in Kings Cross which was good to see.

[Murger]

I think Forest would be a bigger obstacle for us than Huddersfield.

[elwaclaret]

I think Forest would be a bigger obstacle for us than Huddersfield.

Can’t argue with that, especially as failing to go up will probably see several Huddersfield players moving on for ‘bigger’ clubs and the higher wage packets on offer.

[KRBFC]

O'brien is excellent

[Conroysleftfoot]

Not a particularly good game so far.

[RVclaret]

O'brien is excellent

Would have been an upgrade to our midfield last summer for sure

[EarbyClaret]

Agree with Murger although prefer Huddersfield as a club - lots of similarities with us

[KRBFC]

Would have been an upgrade to our midfield last summer for sure

I'd have Garner and O'Brien in our midfield ahead of any of our current options.

[TheFamilyCat]

Aren't two of Forest's main men this season only on loan? Plus Johnson is likely to leave if they miss out.

They could be a very different team next season.

[Smile]

It seems pretty obvious that Forest would likely bring more competition to us next season. It's easily better for us if Forest win.

[Murger]

Forest 1 up.

[ClaretTony]

O'brien is excellent

One that Dyche wanted I believe

[ElectroClaret]

1-0 Forest

[RVclaret]

Deserved for Forest I think

[KRBFC]

One that Dyche wanted I believe

Yeah I remember we were linked for like £4m, probably out of our price range now.

[Beagle]

Hudders’ fans have taken their silly clappers to Wembley?!

[elwaclaret]

I don’t disagree, but I see Forest as a club that is starting to get it’s act together and more able to attract players. Huddersfield have done fantastically, but can they push on again or are they more likely to suffer a play-off hangover as other clubs pick ver the bones. I think there manager may be among those being fancied by others, while Forest can probably afford to fend off interest in Cooper, either way.

[RVclaret]

Yeah I remember we were linked for like £4m, probably out of our price range now.

Today Nixon said Leeds still want him, £15m

[KRBFC]

Today Nixon said Leeds still want him, £15m

Aye we missed the boat on that one sadly.

[RVclaret]

Also very impressed with James Garner for Forest, on loan from United. Another upgrade on our midfield.

Cooper is a good manager though, they will be strong regardless so I'm hoping they win

His dad was once involved in a Burnley play off game.

[Burnley1989]

Yeah I remember we were linked for like £4m, probably out of our price range now.

No it’s not..but to be fair you already knew that

[Vegas Claret]

His dad was once involved in a Burnley play off game.

Was he a ref ? I don't remember which game if he was

[TheFamilyCat]

Was he a ref ? I don't remember which game if he was

David Ellerey and Mike Dean were the two play off final refs weren't they?

Must've done one of the semis if he was a ref. Fourth official or lino, perhaps.

[KRBFC]

No it’s not..but to be fair you already knew that

No what is not?

[KRBFC]

No it’s not..but to be fair you already knew that

Oh you misunderstood me, we were linked with him for £4m ages ago, I didn't mean £4m is out of price range now, I meant O'Brien will be out of price range because he wont be sold for anything close to £4m now.

[RVclaret]

Been a pretty poor final this. Hudd look miles off the Prem. Not convinced with Forest either, they’d need a big summer.

[TheOriginalLongsider]

Davis wearing gloves

[Vegas Claret]

has the Forest keeper even made a save yet ? Rubbish game imho

[ClaretTony]

Was he a ref ? I don't remember which game if he was

He refereed the home leg against Plymouth in 1994.

[KRBFC]

Commentator said superstition

[tiger76]

Rhodes on for Huddersfield. last throw of the dice for them.

[Murger]

That's a pen.

[Beagle]

Clear penalty. In the Premier League, that would be given every time.

[claret wizard]

What’s the point in VAR?

[claretburns]

Clear penalty for Huddersfield but surprise surprise onfield ref Jon Moss and VAR Paul Tierney get it completely wrong.

[ElectroClaret]

Not given by VAR.

[Vegas Claret]

wow

[RickyBobby]

No surprise who is on VAR. That is a foul and is therefore a pen. All day long. Shocking. It really is poor.

[Paddy1882]

Russell the sub for Huddersfield looks very tidy and good on the ball, controlled the game since he came on. Was at Stanley on loan last year I believe.
