Huddersfield vs Nottingham Forest Match Preview and Team News
Huddersfield
Huddersfield Town was the first team to secure their spot at Wembley, beating Luton Town 2-1 across their two-legged semi-final. The regular Championship season wasn’t a straightforward one for Huddersfield, and they entered Christmas in 11th, quite a bit below their target for the season. But the Terriers built a 17-match unbeaten run between the start of December and March, which lifted them right up into the play-off places, and they didn’t look back. Although Carlos Corberán’s men did suffer two consecutive defeats to Millwall and Bournemouth just before the March international break, dropping them down to sixth, they didn’t really look in danger of falling out of the play-off spots. Upon their return, they won six of their final seven Championship matches (one draw) and leapfrogged Nottingham Forest into third on the last day of the season. Then, a 1-1 draw with Luton at Kenilworth Road set Huddersfield up nicely for Jordan Rhodes’ late winner in the second leg to send them to Wembley. Danny Ward enjoys the field, and when he receives the ball and goes towards the goal, the opponent has problems because he passes through the defense like a fast train. Jonathan Russell found the right role in the team, he moves great in the middle of the field, and it isn’t easy to take the ball away from this guy.
Nottingham Forest
Their opponents, Nottingham Forest, had things a little harder in reaching the play-off final, beating Sheffield United on penalties following an exciting 3-3 draw across the two legs of their semi-final. Whatever happens at Wembley, Forest fans will no doubt call the season a success considering how they started – though they will, of course, want to end the campaign with a return to the Premier League. After seven games, Forest was near the bottom of the table, having picked up just one point. Their first win of the season came against Huddersfield in September, the final match before Steve Cooper took over. And they haven’t looked back. Brennan Johnson is a great player, he creates many problems for his opponents, and this guy’s greatest virtue is speed. Many clubs are interested in this guy. Sam Surridge is a guy who causes a lot of problems to the opponent on the left side. He is fast and unstoppable in a one-on-one game.
