McKenna wants home comfort

Paul McKENNA believes home form could be crucial in deciding whether Nottingham Forest or Swansea reach the npower Football League Championship play-off final.

Forest captain McKenna has been part of a team that has lost only twice at the City Ground this season, while Swansea have won 15 and been beaten just three times on their own patch.

The sides meet tonight in Nottingham in the semi-final first leg after good form at the end of the season saw Billy Davies' side finish sixth.

McKenna said: "They have quality all over the pitch and have probably played the best football in the Championship this season and have been brilliant at home.

"They are going to be two tough games. The first tie will be critical and we have to give a good account of ourselves."
