Cardiff in the play offs then

[Focher]

Just thought id notch a possible 10 pager on the team board.

gotta be happy with that.

Form team vs out of form team.

You can't ask for more.

Got to fancy Swansea for the final.

[TBM]

I would rather have played Swansea in the semi tbh, than in the final........nothing worse than losing a final. If we're not gonna go up, i'd rather lose in the semis

[Samrfc01]

I'd fancy us more in a single match against Swansea rather than over two-legs though tbf.

Very happy that we have got Cardiff though.

[rhroyal]

Altogether better playing Swansea at Wembley instead of travelling to the Liberty Stadium, which is a real fortress.

I reckon we've got a good chance against Cardiff but if they turn up at their best, we could struggle.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

Best possible outcome for us - Cardiff under immense pressure right now & Jones looks completely rattled. Just praying that somehow Forest turn over Swansea. Would like to see Boris play in these games though.

[Elliott]

It seems like everyone are instantly ruling Forest out?! They've won 4 on the spin and it's not a crazy idea that they could beat Swansea over 2 legs! Reading v Forest in the final please

I'm not - the Forest fans wanted Swans as they have a good record against them. BUT....I would favour Swansea.

[rhroyal]

3 out of 4 teams are going in with very good form. The 4th team have, arguably, the best squad in the league. Hard one to call. I'm definitely glad to have Cardiff, but it's a very tough play-off this year.

Coventry and Leeds away are tough games; good draws. We have 1 defeat in 16; a freak performance. We'll be confident going into the play-offs. We can do it.

Swansea's away form is shocking though. They're very liable to choke.

Great semi this. Forest won 4 on the bounce heading into the play-offs.

[Archie's penalty]

Both games are crackers!

[howser]

Got to be Swansea at Wembley ! The Brenden Rodgers link is bad enough, but I work with 2 blokes from Swansea and my son is married to a girl from Swansea.......so its got to be !!

[Royal Lady]

Mark Bright said he fancies us to win the play-offs! Good old Brighty!

[PieEater]

We're due some karma after the Bothroyd non goal and Bellamy's last minute +7 equaliser.

Pleased that we have them rather than Swansea.

[Svlad Cjelli]

When we lost to Burnley in 2009 we'd had a season chasing second place, and we failed miserably and came 4th - so no wonder we bottled it when we came to the semi-final, when we played an unfancied team who'd been out of the play-off places for most of the season.

Spot the parallels - psychologically we're in the best possible situation there is.

[trueroyal1871]

I said this ages ago, it'll be us against Swansea in the final and we'll beat them it's all been prophesied by nan before she died. RIP nan

Three clubs with 3W 2D 1L and Forest 5-0-1. Forest and Swans have each won their last 3 so one of those runs has to end on Thursday.
