Nottingham Forest v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[ciggiesnbeer]

1-5 to the good guys. They go one up and Bruce's response is simply to let the shackles off even more and we unleash a torrent of goals on the hapless Forest. The Aston Villa "incredibles" roll on.

Spoiler for Hiden:

Yes cannabis is now legal in California, why do you ask?

Just win, please

'Bruce's response' - ha ha, good one!

If bruce reverts to being stubborn and defensive we won't win this today ie Jedi at centre back, deep midfield.  Money's on a draw.

Just to confirm

is this a ‘must win’ game like the other 26 already this season or can we have a week off

The new 'must win' is momentum these days John. Do keep up!

sorry, must try harder to keep in the loop

However start to worry when momentum turns into good old fashioned “every game is a cup final now”.

Can't say i'm that optimistic really. I predict this is where we start to revert back to a more Villa-like (upper) mid table.
2-0 unfortunately for me.

Hmmmm, I get a bit more concerned when we have another of those ‘it’s just another bad day at the office’ days.

I think another two or so bad days at the office will move us on to cup final days.

0-1 smash and grab

I'd like to think we can carry on where we left off against Bristol.  But I fear after that "two steps forward" this will be another case of "one and a half steps back", because that's what Bruce does.
