'Prayers worked' - Nottingham Forest fans rave about Steve Cooper decision for Sheffield United

Nottingham Forest fans have reacted as Steve Cooper names his side for the Championship play-offs semi-final first leg at Sheffield United.

With a whole week of preparation behind them after last week's 1-1 draw at Hull City, the Forest boss has made seven changes for the trip to Bramall Lane.

Djed Spence, Jack Colback, Sam Surridge, Brennan Johnson, Ryan Yates, Scott McKenna and Steve Cook all return to the starting line-up.

The seven return in place of Xande Silva, Alex Mighten, Joe Lolley, Cafu, Richie Laryea, Tobias Figueiredo and Jonathan Panzo.

Philip Zinckernagel, James Garner, Joe Worrall and Brice Samba all retained their spots.

Possibly the most pleasing news for Reds fans is the return of Keinan Davis. The striker has not featured since April's defeat to Luton Town and has been named on the bench for the first leg.

Following the announcement of the team news, Forest fans have taken to social media to give their reaction and excitement of seeing Davis back in the squad. Here's what just some had to say.
