- Sam Surridge has averaged a league goal every 54 minutes for Nottingham Forest at the City Ground this season, netting five times in 271 minutes on the pitch. The Blades have the record for competing in the most play-off campaigns without ever gaining promotion via that method (eight before this season). Indeed, their last 13 such trips have seen them score just seven times, and never more than once in a single game. The spirit is really high and the training ground has been excellent. Our support both home and away has been incredible, but it’s our responsibility to try and get them feeling that way.” “We’re looking forward to the game.

Nottingham Forest v Sheffield United live stream: How to watch the ... (FourFourTwo)

Nottingham Forest will be looking to complete the job after beating Sheffield United in the first leg of their Championship play-off semi-final on Saturday.

DAZN subscribers can watch every single Premier League game in 2021/22 – and it gets better. If you pick up a fuboTV subscription for the games not on Peacock Premium, you'll be able to watch every game. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. Keinan Davis came off the bench on Saturday, but it could be too early for the loanee strike to start after a hamstring issue. Sheffield United still have a tough task in front of them, but a fast start on Tuesday could see the home crowd get nervy. Forest, in truth, could have scored more than twice at Bramall Lane - and they were made to pay for their profligacy when Sander Berge halved the deficit in the first minute of second-half stoppage time.

Nottingham Forest have Brice Samba to thank for reaching Championship play-off final as hero goalkeeper saves THREE penalties in shootout after they squandered ...

He did so, giving Lolley the chance to send Forest to Wembley. That signalled the start of a period of sustained United pressure. Johnson immediately squared up to Heckingbottom and players from both teams brawled by the touchline, with Heckingbottom lucky only to receive a yellow card. It was tough on the Blades, who had performed brilliantly on the night. The visitors wasted an even better chances moments later when, after Joe Worrall had given the ball away, Morgan Gibbs-White raced away down the left on to a ball from Rhys Norrington-Davies. United were rattled and needed a block from John Fleck to stop Surridge’s effort testing Wes Foderingham, after a clever move involving Philip Zinckernagel. Its importance was apparent six minutes later when Forest, who had been second-best, seized the lead. Then his opposite number made an astonishing stop from Ndiaye’s close-range volley. What a job performed by Steve Cooper, who took charge last autumn with the club bottom of the table. Fleck's goal edged the visitors ahead in the second leg and sent the semi-final to extra-time Fleck's goal edged the visitors ahead in the second leg and sent the semi-final to extra-time One more win to end 23 years of pain.

It appeared that Billy Sharp, the injured United captain, was struck to the ground by fans running on to the pitch. Johnson, whose father scored in Forest’s 2003 5-4 defeat by these opponents in 2003, has been brilliant, and the loanees Djed Spence, Philip Zinckernagel, James Garner and Keinan Davis have been classy, zesty contributors to Forest’s rise as well. Within two minutes they were level on the night. But Samba had a different script in mind. Nine times now they have failed to gain promotion from the end‑of‑season jamboree. Nottingham Forest, defeated at home for only the second time this year, booked their first visit to Wembley since 1992 after Brice Samba saved three penalties in the shootout to secure a Championship play-off final date with Huddersfield Town on 29 May.

Steve Cooper's contract runs out in a year – Nottingham Forest have ... (The Athletic)

Cooper has Forest on the cusp of ending 23 years of hurt - but the club need to respond in kind by making sure he sticks around.

And maybe it is also for the chap in a Derby shirt who was in the Ipswich end that day and, football being the sport of schadenfreude, had snuck in because he wanted to see Forest’s relegation close-up. He calls it a “special club” and a “magical place”. You can see from the way he looks around him, for every pre-match rendition of Mull of Kintyre, that these are not empty words. It is for everyone who ran on the pitch after Forest had beaten Ipswich on the last of the 2016-17 season because it saved the club from dropping back into League One. Yes: a pitch invasion to celebrate finishing 20th. He needs to make this a long-term arrangement. I want more of that feeling from what should always be remembered as the Samba Semi (copyright: my mate Simon). I want to lose the plot more often. Evangelos Marinakis, the club’s owner, has to do everything he can to make sure that does not happen. Notting Hill was at the cinema. “Now, however, it feels like a tremendous positive force that continues to drive us on.” Did we all exist in some kind of weird parallel universe when it looked like Forest’s only realistic ambition at the time of Cooper’s appointment was to avoid being dragged further into the relegation quicksands? Since he returned to the side against Blackpool in April, he has played with much more focus. Samba served a three-match suspension and remained out of the team for another four games. He turned to head down the tunnel and, amid all the bedlam and noise and sheer wonder, one guy was leaning over the perimeter wall.
