'Underdogs' - Huddersfield fans pile in as Nottingham Forest secure Wembley date

Nottingham Forest booked their place in the Championship play-off final this evening after beating Sheffield United on penalties.

Brice Samba was the hero as he saved three of the spot kicks and sent the sold out City Ground into raptures as Steve Cooper's Forest squad now look forward to a meeting with Huddersfield Town at Wembley.

Huddersfield defeated Luton Town thanks to a late goal from Jordan Rhodes as they look to make it successive Wembley triumphs after winning the playoff final in 2017.

Terriers fans have since reacted to the news that they'll be facing Forest for promotion to the Premier League here...

Declan Rattigan: If they've lost Garner that's massive for us, take it to em and we've got a right chance.

@htafcTY: Can’t wait, judging by their performance tonight we’ve got a real chance.

Paul Cowin: Forest have only got Samba to thank for getting to Wembley, with 3 penalty saves and a wonder save near the end. Forest were way off the pace for a home game and United deserved the win, but on this showing Forest will struggle if they get to the promised land.

Jordan Hunter: I love how everyone thinks were the underdogs, our team have been phenomenal all season just like forest. It doesn’t matter about past achievements or how big of a club you are. This season is what counts AND TOWN ARE GOING UP.

@calum_rob: Been underdogs the whole season and had people disregard us and our successes but one more game, one more 90 mins to prove ourselves and make town a premier league team again.

@shelchenko: Let’s have them!! Looked awful tonight.

Matthew Neary: There for the taking in the final come on town.
