Everyone has to be feigning that they're nervous, right? Like there's no way it's real that people are actually nervous? I'm only in my early thirties and no doubt the old timers on here will have more experience of it than me, but that kick in the teeth, punch in the stomach, wrecking ball in the nads that NUFC can provide by snatching defeat from the jaws of almost certain victory is downright incredible. Frankly I'd be worried if we were 5-0 up from the first leg and playing Southampton Women's U18s. Yes, new era, new owners, Eddie, all that... but as I think Glenn Roeder said during his stint as manager, failure is almost stitched into our badge.

The Fountain Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 With Pope and our back four you'd think it'd be impossible to balls this up. Southampton will come at as early imo and leave gaps for us to penetrate. Just hope the finishing is better than last Tuesday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ever we needed an early goal in a game it's this one. If it stays at 0-0 well into the 2nd half the tension will be unbareable knowing they just need a goal to take ir to pens.

Without wanting to sound like the grim reaper it only takes a daft red card and the match is turned on it’s head. This is my main fear there seemed to be quite a bit of needle at the end of the 1st leg. Still think we’ll go through but I’ll be amazed if it’s a formality, they’re also 1 game from Wembley and will throw the kitchen sink at it which makes them dangerous.

Or a daft free kick on the edge of the box ripe for JWP. I'm expecting a nervy night. Hope the crowd are up for it and don't just wave their scarves before the match then sit in silence.

And we've only lost 7 matches total since the loss to Cambridge on Jan 8th, 2022. I just feel like people keep saying that they're nervous to try and show how much they care or some sort of reverse jinx thing. We don't need it. We're a vastly better squad only heading in one direction while they're headed in the opposite and we're starting the match, at home, with a one goal advantage. Of course the odds of us getting to the final are around that 95% mark. Edited January 30, 2023 by cubaricho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the only one that rivals it is Man Utd in 96. Obviously wasn’t quite as do or die, but I think everyone felt in we won, that would probably be the title.

SiLvOR Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Like the first leg, it hasn't quite hit me yet. But as soon as I start watching, I'll be bricking it. To get to Wembley just over a year into our new era would be so fucking class. I don't think that's gonna be lost on the staff or players. We'll be bang up for this, and who the fuck should we fear at home? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been said, a daft red card and all of the sudden it's a completely different game. Plus we haven't really been firing on all cylinders since the WC break. Of course I think we'll go through, but not to that extent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I'm a bit nervous. I'm definitely pretty confident and do think we will most likely win. But I'm nervous about the pressure - it just takes one goal from southampton from a corner or something, us still missing our shooting boots and we end up in a penalty shootout that could go anywhere. I think Partizan burned me. With the away goal and lead there I didn't have a lot of doubt - I went to get the CL patch on my shirt, but they didn't have them in yet.

Of course we can lose. But there aren’t any signs of us being anything less than task focussed this season, and second half of last year. We’ll get it done. I’ll get home about 4 hours after the final whistle so, however it goes, plenty of time to process for me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Ultimately, it's a winner's mentality to be confident of seeing a situation like this through, and we're going to need that in time to come if we're gonna go where we want to go. Not arrogance, mind. Just iron resolution to do the business. I've got full faith in Eddie and the players to have that. The alternative is self-doubt and nerves that can feed through into the crowd and onto the pitch. Caginess, being fearful and ponderous in possession, catastrophising any mistakes that are made etc. We don't want that. One of the absolute best things that we've developed over the past 12 months is the resolve to trust our gameplan and talents in a game. It's definitely an education process for supporters, but 1-0 in the 80th minute means so much more now than it did the last time we were in regular cup semis and finals. We're a good, serious team.
