The Swansea City goalkeeper wants to win at Nottingham Forest for the first time as a Swans player on Thursday, insisting that they have the form and momentum to stop Forest's own excellent form in the semi final.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Western Mail, De Vries said “We do feel like we’re peaking now but our away record speaks for itself. <\/p>\n
“Away results have not been good enough, especially when we wanted to grab and hold of the second automatic spot.<\/p>\n
“But in our last few results we’ve done very well, kept clean sheets, and Millwall said they we were the best side they have seen at The Den.<\/p>\n
“It’s great to build momentum going into these games and very important because Forest have won their last four and scored lots of goals, but now we need to kick on.<\/p>\n
“Forest are a good side, we’ve had two very different fixtures against them this season, up there we didn’t deserve anything but at home we were excellent.<\/p>\n
“I’ve never won there as a Swansea player and it will be something new for us to go there as a team and win.<\/p>\n
“I’ve been really impressed by Forest; they know what’s been asked of them in situations like this and when the heat is on they know how to perform.<\/p>\n
“We’ve showed that a couple of time ourselves but they are strong and solid at back, creative in midfield and have plenty of pace and scoring ability up front.<\/p>\n
“They are at home first and with a hostile environment and the crowd behind their backs they might have the slight advantage. But we don’t fear going there.<\/p>\n
“Fear is a big word. We have plenty of confidence from last few results away and we know what we’re capable of.<\/p>\n
“These games are separate to what happened before because of the hype, for us as a team know what capable of and we can just look forward to it.<\/p>\n
“Our results away should have been a lot better but why not time for a change.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
