BBC Nottingham are out in Herning, Denmark, chatting to travelling supporters before Nottingham Forest’s Europa League last-16 second leg tie against Midtjylland on Thursday.
Helen Shepherd thinks Premier League safety is the clear priority but has still wanted to make the most of Europe: “I came 30 years ago with my sister to Lyon, Auxerre and Munich … now we unexpectedly have the chance to come again of course I’m going to take it … Will it ever happen to me again? Possibly not. So you’ve got to do it.” [BBC]
Trevor Hall thinks Forest at their best can still take on the Europa League: “I think for a lot of games this season we’ve been the better side without the results. I think it’s winnable if we can find someone to score goals.” [BBC]
Will Chandler is focused on the Premier League and worried about Forest’s position: “This year I feel like the team and the fans aren’t together as they were in that first season [in the Premier League]. This feels different.” But he’s loved Europe: “It’s been brilliant because I never expected it. Five years ago when we were in the Championship at the bottom would you ever have thought we’d be doing this? No! So we’re enjoying it.” [BBC]
