Half-time of a pulsating, enthralling play-offs semi-final, and Nottingham Forest will be wondering how they are not already out of sight.
They could have been. They could have had one foot through the Wembley doors already, they had that many chances in their first leg against Sheffield United. To take a 2-1 lead into the return encounter at the City Ground, where they have been immense under Steve Cooper, puts them in a great position. The big regret will be that it wasn’t more - and that they conceded one late on, to give the Blades something to cling to.
This tie isn’t done, by any means. The last thing anyone in the Forest camp will be doing is taking it for granted. Guarding against complacency will be key. It is, however, firmly in their own hands. They have a chance of progressing to the final well and truly in their grasp.
