- 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.

Elsewhere, George Baldock is pushing for a start after returning to action from the bench in the first leg. "The winger has found game time hard to come by for much of this term. Sheffield United are still unsure on the fitness of striker Billy Sharp heading into the game. NottinghamshireLive's Forest writer Sarah Clapson wrote: "The big call facing Cooper is whether Keinan Davis is fit to start. Cooper says he has no new injury concerns, with Ryan Yates passed fit despite suffering another knock to his injured shoulder. Head coach Cooper said after Saturday's game: “It’s great to have him back, and good for him to get some minutes.

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 are hoping to book their place in the Championship Play-off Final this evening when they take on Sheffield United at the City Ground.

“There is no place for these types of pyrotechnics inside football grounds and it’s important that people realise that smuggling these items into stadiums is a criminal offence that can lead to an arrest and a football banning order of up to five years.” “While I know most people will view this as a harmless means of improving the atmosphere, this is simply not the case and is illegal for a reason. “We know that the vast majority of fans will look to enjoy their night at the football and cheer their side on without any trouble, but we will have policing resources available to keep people safe, in the event of crime or disorder taking place.

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.

A first half flashpoint between the 44-year-old and Djed Spence saw the Blades' chief appear to shove the ball forcefully into the Forest player's midriff. It had goals, drama, flashpoints and every ingredient that we have come to expect from this format down the years. And John Fleck's goal took the tie to extra-time - something that scarcely seemed believable at half-time. Brennan Johnson opened the scoring to give Forest a two-goal lead in the tie early on - an advantage they took into half-time. He immediately made his mark with a superb stop to keep out Oli Norwood with the very first spot-kick before tipping Conor Hourihane's onto the bar with an incredible save. They will now meet Huddersfield Town in the showpiece final at Wembley on Sunday, May 29 with the winners guaranteed a place in next season's top flight.

Latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive as Reds beat Blades on penalties at City Ground.

Needed more protection from the referee as he got kicked from pillar to post all evening. Ryan Yates: Battled through the pain barrier once again, doing his best to gee the fans up. James Garner: Midfield as a whole struggled to get to grips, in the second half especially. Lolley lost his footing at the key moment when meeting a Johnson cross, then the latter sent an acrobatic effort straight at Foderingham. But with the scores all-square, it went to extra-time. They did just that with 15 minutes to go, John Fleck finishing from a few yards out to go 2-1 up and make it 3-3 on aggregate. Cooper kept his players back at half-time, allowing United to head down the tunnel first, to avoid any trouble. That sparked a melee on the pitch as frustrations spilled over. Surridge then had an effort blocked and James Garner bent a shot wide as Cooper’s side looked to press home the advantage. Scott McKenna started the move, playing a fabulous long ball down the channel for Sam Surridge to chase. The Reds stopper made a terrific save to keep out Iliman Ndiaye as he went to meet Morgan Gibbs-White’s square ball, with Steve Cook mopping up afterwards. And it was almost first blood to United on the night.
