The fear is immense .....stop worrying, have you watched us versus Watford in the Championship play off!!! We have already experienced your nightmare, we just can't see it happen again.

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 17 March 2022 Share Posted 17 March 2022 All about the defence. Don't give them a sniff at all. No dodgy corners or anything. Be disciplined and organised. They will then have to over play it and - boom foxes fast break special!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they were ok, particularly first twenty but we were better for the rest of the match. They are the ones who should be scared of us, and I reckon we'll win again tonight. Come on you foxes I agree that we came to terms with them after the first half hour but it was worrying how long that took. It seemed to be a combination of a tactical tweak and us upping our intensity. Hopefully we don’t go into the game with a sit back mentality tonight because if they get one and are strongly on the front foot then we’ve seen how fragile our boys are with a vociferous crowd against them …..

Exactly, but unfortunately the violence has stemmed from your side, so far. Let's hope last night was the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeybradger Posted 17 March 2022 Share Posted 17 March 2022 (edited) I dont see how you can't be worried when they're a team that starts quick and trails off and we're a team that starts slow and finally finds our way into the game. They will have a 20-30 minute window at the start of the game where they will be almost guaranteed to have plenty of good chances unless we change tactics specifically to constrict them at the start (not that I'm saying this is the right option). This tie will be decided by whether they have their shooting boots for the first half hour and whether we can keep our heads straight if we concede early That said if it gets to half time at 0-0 then I'm fairly confident Edited 17 March 2022 by honeybradger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevosevic Posted 17 March 2022 Share Posted 17 March 2022 Would love a dull 0-0. Hope we do a bit of a Simeone and take our time over every single free kick, throw in and goal kick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one of the main drags, Mail François Mitterand, and there are about 50 City fans drinking outside and about 10 police keeping a discreet view.

Foxes96 Posted 17 March 2022 Share Posted 17 March 2022 Nervous about this but hoping we can show some mettle. The FA Cup last year is giving me hope that we can stand up to the pressure and get the job done, but Brendan’s past European record and our recent record of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory has me worried. I hope we can go and take the game to them, as if we sit back and try and hold on it’s going to be a very long game. If Söyüncü is unavailable I guess we have to hope Fofana can slot in, on the left hand side no less next to Amartey. Think we’ll play Daka up top, but unsure who we’ll have out wide between Maddison/ Albrighton / Lookman / Barnes. Expecting something similar to the home leg. Schmeichel Justin - Amartey - Fofana - Thomas Tielemans - Ndidi - KDH Maddison - Daka - Barnes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OntarioFox Posted 17 March 2022 Share Posted 17 March 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, KingsX said: Not sure about attempts to give this match an English-versus-the-French flavor. The French see the Bretons somewhat as you see the Welsh … and they are from the same stock as the Welsh ... as proved by @Finnegan’s uncharacteristic near-silence in this thread … conflicted, mate? Oh, I should clarify, I think the Rennes fans are sound, after the home leg I ended up hugging some scruffy bugger in the street who I could only describe as French Jesus. It's a shame a handful of morons on their end decided to attack our fans in the pub. I've found the whole affair to be good natured for the most part - it seems the idiots on our side are more concerned with smashing up Nottingham than getting involved with European aggro. That or they spend so much on Stone Island and snorting gear that they can't afford a passport. It was one of the Rennes guys on here that brought up John Cleese in Holy Grail. If he can see the funny side I don't see why you can't. Edited 17 March 2022 by OntarioFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sankey93 Posted 17 March 2022 Share Posted 17 March 2022 Dreading this tonight. I just know what’s coming and it’s a Rennes 3-0 win. I think the occasion will get to them and we will be knocked out which will Put the icing on the cake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
