Nottingham Forest fans react to Europa League draw

Nottingham Forest fans have been reacting to the Tricky Trees draw on Friday afternoon, and there is a consensus among them.

One fan says, ‘We have got to be happy with that.’

Meanwhile another says, ‘Got to be happy with that. Really winnable ties and trips to Braga, Seville, Graz and Utrecht, [you can] just make a trip to Amsterdam and get the train down. Some top locations there.’

Additional fans have predicted how Forest should do in the league phase with one saying, ‘Not being funny but we’re gonna top the group.’

With another already having eyes on the final, ‘Perfect draw, can’t wait for Istanbul.’

Whereas others have set their sights on some of the fixtures ahead, with one saying, ‘Fairly kind draw, Porto at home will be amazing.’

And another stating, ‘Porto at home will be a quality atmosphere.’

Overall, the general agreement among Nottingham Forest fans is they have been handed a decent draw, and some exciting fixtures in the Europa League.

Six new fixtures for Nottingham Forest fans to look forward to

Nottingham Forest will face six teams they have never played against in their history across the Europa League league phase. Of the eight games, only Sturm Graz, and Malmo are repeats of previous matchups.

The Garibaldi played against Sturm Graz in the 1983/1984 UEFA Cup Quarter-final, and have faced up against Malmo in the European Cup final in 1978/1979 as well as in the first-round of the UEFA Cup in 1995/1996.

The Tricky Trees are unbeaten against both clubs.

Of course, the travelling set of fans will be looking forward to watching their team in new locations, and it will certainly be a season to remember.

For Nuno Espirito Santo, he’ll be hoping his Nottingham Forest squad can deliver and provide them with the same next year.
