Billy Davies thinks there may be a chance that the Swans are a little weary on Monday night

The Nottingham Forest manager saw his side stumble to a 0-0 draw against ten man Swansea City in the first leg of their Championship play off semi final and now has to secure a win at the Liberty Stadium if he is to take his side to Wembley.

And he is hoping that the Swans show some tiredness on Monday night as he told the Evening Post  "I think physically they will be more tired than us.

"They defended deep after the red card and they made life difficult for us — that's what happens with ten men. They deserve great credit for the way they worked, but it was a big ask for them physically.

"We will go down to Swansea and look to cause problems and you never know, they might be a bit weary in the second leg.

"I was disappointed because I thought Swansea would start defending much deeper

"That doesn't help us the way we play.

"There's lots still to play for, there's lots still to happen," Davies declared.

"Swansea I'm sure are delighted with a ten-man draw.

"But I am full of optimism.

"I said before the game that there are no favourites in the play-offs, at home or away. There's massive pressure on the home side sometimes and this is a very open tie. It can go either way, there's no doubt about it."
