Forest were the last side to defeat Swansea City in the league – way back 12 games ago on 12 December.<\/p>\n
Revenge for the Swans tomorrow will lift them within two points of their hosts with a game in hand and a further belief that maybe they should aim higher than the play offs.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Western Mail about the game, Sousa said “We came stronger than them in that game. They scored a goal from a set-play, but we created much better opportunities than them. <\/p>\n
“It’s a team very aggressive and organised. It was difficult to win when we conceded because they closed all the space down well with a lot of aggression.<\/p>\n
“They are strong in counter-attacks and a team prepared to go forward, one of the stronger sides in the Championship.<\/p>\n
“But they can lose too and, though they are stronger financially than us, we can compete with them in our game, our strategies and with the quality of our football.<\/p>\n
“This is a match we like to have all the time.<\/p>\n
“It’s an environment we want to be in more often. We believe we can catch Nottingham and I think our fans are believing we can do that too.<\/p>\n
“This game can affect things, but mentally we have become stronger with all these demands over the last few weeks.<\/p>\n
“We can also give them a big negative impact for the rest of the season by winning at Nottingham.<\/p>\n
“We are looking for loan players, but we are still waiting,” he said.<\/p>\n
“We need to do this because it’s vital for us to keep on fighting.<\/p>\n
“We have been looking for loan players for two weeks now and I’m hopeful that players will arrive.<\/p>\n
“But we won’t become desperate because the injuries do not affect our spirit and our family.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
