Goalkeeper Brice Samba has been tipped to rise to the occasion again for Nottingham Forest when they head to Wembley.
The Reds do battle with Huddersfield Town on Sunday in an all-or-nothing showdown, with promotion on the line. And they have Samba to thank for getting them there, after his heroics against Sheffield United in last week’s semi-final second leg.
The 28-year-old produced two outstanding saves to deny Iliman Ndiaye at the City Ground, then thwarted three penalties in the shootout to secure victory. Ex-Forest stopper Mark Crossley says Samba has the potential to repeat his big-game form for Steve Cooper’s side this weekend.
