So the last 90 minutes (or maybe more) at Meadow Lane this season. Apart from a blip when Nolan decided to change our formation we are very good at home.

As far as I can tell Forte should be fit to play and I hope we start with Shola with him. The rest of the side should be the same IMO.

Hopefully we have enough to make it to Wembley although it’s still impossible to call it with any confidence.

Agree with Shola for Stead, I'd also bring O'Connor in for Noble, got a feeling it is going to be a bit tense (it would be ordinarily but especially given a couple of incidents in the first leg), and I think we could use O'Connor's cooler head.

It's going to be a good occasion, weather looks fine, the ground should look pretty packed with 15/16k in - agree it's too close to call, first goal could be vital but I can see this one going all the way, possibly to penalties...

Hoping for a Notts win, for purely selfish reasons... I've not seen us play at the Ricoh!

Seen so many Coventry fans saying that this just depends on whether they turn up or not and if they do it’ll be comfortable, hope their team are taking the same attitude.

I’m expecting a bitty, horrible game that’ll be decided on a set piece or a mistake, to be honest. We’ve got to channel the injustice we’ll obviously be feeling from Saturday but in the right way.

If anything it should be the Notts fans going into this with more confidence. I thought Cov executed their game plan well, but we equally did the same. I guess it just shows that the final 10 minutes of a game can essentially influence a lot how you feel the game went.

Too close to call etc. Both good sides as the first leg showed. Unless its torrential rain again, there's no way this game will played at the same pace. We'll slow it down, put a lot of pressure on their centerbacks.

Will Davis be banned for either the stamp or the kick of Forte? That's probably going to be the biggest talking point. To be perfectly honest, he probably should be

Davies has been charged, will miss this and potentially the final unless he wins a decision. Correct outcome and potentially a big one - thought he really dealt with our front two physically on Saturday which is a big part of the battle against us.

Reading the FA's tweet it sounds like three independent refs have already looked at it and decided he should be charged. People don't tend to get off once charged, do they?

Unlikely but it does happen. Cov might as well appeal as even the extra game if it’s viewed as frivolous doesn’t really matter. It was pretty obvious anyway though to be honest, crazy thing to do in a televised game.

The kick on Forte was far more obvious, I wonder why he wasn't charged with that too?

Maybe they just go with whichever offence happened first? :D

Can’t really blame the ref for missing something so sly, but playing more than an hour against ten men would’ve been nice. Boy are we due a big decision or two on Friday night.

Typical, the elbow in the away fixture a few weeks back goes completely unnoticed and yet Davies gets a ban. That evens up with the penalty.

Huge miss for us, easily our best defender.

Not sure it evens up the penalty to be honest, you should’ve been playing 65 minutes with ten men.

I mean in terms of how big of a loss he is. You've gained an advantage with him being out.

How does retrospective red cards work? If you receive a red in the game you miss the next match, unless you win an appeal.

I am not sure but I seem to remember that when the next match is close and you appeal they are allowed to play in the next game if the appeal isn’t heard by the time that match is played? Or it might be rules further down the pyramid i am getting confused with.

Good luck to County and Coventry. May the best side on the day go through to Wembley.

Is that including Coventry's 4.5k? If so I'd expect us to get close to 14k most likely

We’ve sold 14,000 odd including Coventry, hot off the press. Be good to get the Kop full at least.

Davies being out is a blow for us. Willis is a decent replacement though.

Surprised if so, what's the source jacob?

A good one. :p

Can work it out exactly through the online ticketing thing if anyone can be bothered and it’s actually working.

Davies being suspended is a big blow, he dealt with Notts County’s forwards well on Saturday. His own stupid fault though, absolutely moronic. Would make County favourites for the game now, although I’d have probably fancied them anyway. Saw an interesting stat that we’ve both not lost a game in which we’ve taken the lead this season, with us boasting an impressive 20 wins in 22 games (Not sure how many of County’s 25 they won), so first goal on Friday will be massive.

Chairman indicating it's 15k plus. Might be a few Cov fans buying tickets in the home ends.

So we get our captain and pace back at the back. Good to see you selling a few, poor effort by you lot at the Ricoh tbf. Should be a good game let’s hope we score first

Davies is a really silly billy.

Not as poor an effort as Coventry at the Ricoh, was expecting a gate comfortably over 20,000. It wasn’t tbf.

16000 is certainly more than I expected will be a very noisy San Sirrel on friday night that’s for sure

You need to score first as we have never lost when scoring first at home this season.

Will probably be a bigger attendance at Meadow Lane, I think it shows it was a poor effort by your lot actually!

Or the fact we are bringing 4500+.

I know 4 city fans who have tickets in the Kop.
