MYSTERIOUS: Nottingham forest fans nervy as clinical point made in play off win at sheffield united | Mind Blowing Facts

Nottingham Forest fans say it is "twitchy bum time" after Sheffield United scored late on to make it 2-1 in the first-leg of their play-off semi-final.

Jack Colback put the visitors ahead at Bramall Lane with a composed finish midway early in the first-half, although they could have a much greater lead going into half-time had Brennan Johnson and Sam Surridge not squandered golden opportunities.

Johnson eventually doubled Forest's lead on 71 minutes when he latched onto a deflected pass from substitute Joe Lolley before rifling high past Wes Foderingham in the Blades' goal.

Forest had seemingly been heading into the second-leg on Tuesday (May 17) in a comfortable position, but Sander Berge had different plans when he headed home a Morgan Gibbs-White corner in stoppage time.

This is what Forest fans said on social media at full-time...

@emseditorial: Yep, official twitchy bum time is here folks

@cranky84: A wins a win. All in our own hands now for Tuesday. Cracking match for a neutral

@johnnystromo: Huge win!!!

@will3006: Good game, Tuesday night an important night at home

@Craig74Nov: A win is a win. We're strong at home.

@AndrewKendrick7: We’ve just won a play off SF away from home…but why do I feel so flat #nffc Should be all over

@alanwildthing99: Should have scored more but would take 2-1 at this stage

@Caz_NFFC: This match should have been dead before they got that injury time goal - we should have even out of sight by 70mins. Too many wasted chances. Need to be more clinical in home leg. A 2-0 lead would have been brilliant but that goal changes things

@RhysWilliams79: That one stings. We all know what’s gonna happen Tuesday….
