Terry makes it, Jedinak doesn't. So we go with Whelan who on his own isn't the worst. He's just careless error waiting to happen.
-
Will miss Jedi. Hopefully Glenn has a good one. Can't complain at the rest of the team.
-
I'm happy. I think that's close to our best starting 11 with current absentees due to injuries.
If I were a betting man, which I am, I'd lump on villa. But there's no value there.
Go Villa!
-
Let's hope we approach the game in the same manner as Bristol City. Lots of movement, neat passing and effective crossing. Just don't bomb it long to Hogan because it will be an utter waste of time.
-
Unfortunate that Jedi isn't available. Pray to God Whelan has one of his better games
-
Win please.
-
A good team on paper, just hope they perform.
-

It all depends how Bruce uses Whelan. If he instructs him as usual to be running around like a teenager up and down the pitch, we're in trouble. If he demands Whelan sits tight and keep things tidy as Jedi does, we should be okay. We have younger, fitter and better players to bring the ball forward than Whelan. It's about time Bruce starts understanding the basics.

JT is a suprise start

there was a very brief spell where Whelan looked the part doing just that. It's when he's asked to the running around or partnered with Jedinak in midfield that we run into trouble. So hopefully if he's just asked to do the very simple stuff and break up plays we should be fine.
-
Team pretty much as expected.
Not much on the bench to mix it up if required. I'd have preferred to see O'Hare and RHM instead of BB and Onomah.
-
Whelan is too slow. Would rather Onomah played instead. Jedinak is injury prone - he's had a 2 week break ffs!

Agree with that but both picked are deemed versatile I suppose
-
In the racing post today they went for a villa win as they think we have too much pace for forest. Whether they have watched a different villa to me or whether forest have all the pace of snails remains to be seen then

Forest looked pretty quick against Arsenal!
By pace they must mean Adomah.
-
Is being a complete twat some kind of job requirement at Sky?
-
Whelan is too slow. Would rather Onomah played instead.
It would certainly be an option if Bruce realised it's Onamah's best position.
-
Yes other than Whelan probably the best team we can field.
-
I feel like the only sober person here. Not keen on these 17:30 kick offs.
-
Is being a complete twat some kind of job requirement at Sky?
It certainly used to be when I was still in the UK.
-
I think people need to get over the win over Arsenal. It wasn't even their reserve team. I swear there were players in that XI that even Wenger hadn't heard of. I was certainly lost after Iwobi and Welbeck.
-
Strong team and bench. Jedi a miss but Whelan has been a relatively solid backup thus far.
-
Can't see many goals in that line-up...
-
Can't see many goals in that line-up...
The new orange circle!!!
-
Can't see many goals in that line-up...
Depends on if the team and style of play that turned up for Bristol City turn up tonight and play to Hogan's strengths.
If not and Villa regress to Bruce's normal approach, a one goal win or a draw,
-
Think this one will end a draw. Expect Forest to have a bit of a new manager bounce and no doubt they will be buzzing from the Cup. 2-2 which would be a decent result for me. Chester and Grealish to get ours.
-
Nice to see another team be as bad at throw ins as us.
-
Is being a complete twat some kind of job requirement at Sky?
It certainly used to be when I was still in the UK.
Let's start with Clinton Morrison.
-
Assuming it’s not on avtv live because it’s being shown on sky in the Uk? Or is it just not working for me?
-
I can't even find a stream today.
-
who took that free kick that nearly ended up in the river Trent
-
I can't even find a stream today.
Likewise, frustratingly.
-
Nice move
-
Looked pretty comfortable so far, but the ball isn’t sticking in the final third at times. The ref has missed a couple of bad challenges now.
-
Shit ref!
-
Should have had a free kick on edge of area. Clear foul. Shit ref
-
I can't even find a stream today.
Likewise, frustratingly.
I hate being in the Championship.

Well, except at least we're not in the over-hyped bullsh*t arena that is the Prem :-)
-
Get in

Hogan, 0-1.
-
Goooooooooooool !
-
HHHHHHOOOOOGGGGAAAAAAAN
-
Fucking get in.
-
You play the game to his strengths and he will score goals. It’s that simple
-
Scotty!
-
Lovely cross onto Hogans head.
-
good goal all round that
-
Hogan! Lovely delivery from Snodgrass.
-
Fantastic ball by Snoddy.
He really is starting to become a top player for us.
-
Fab movement and anticipation by Hogan..Just pilfered a yard ...Splendid whipped in ball by Snodgrass
-
Really poor ref - never a free kick to them & Bruce gets a talking to for complaining
-
You play the game to his strengths and he will score goals. It’s that simple
Quite.
Remind me: who is this Hogan fella, again?!
-

He’s the bloke we just bought this week in the January window to get us promoted. (Dougism)
-
What a shit free kick by Elmo
-
This ref is shit.
-
Looks like the Bristol Villa have turned up tonight
-

Aha: smart work by the manager's crack team of coaching experts.
About friggin' time they worked out how to maximise his skills.
-
Oooh off the bar from JT
-
Nice interplay between Hutton, Grealish and Albert
-
We’ve got yer another turd of a referee today.
-
feck these refs are shit
-
Great delivery again & hit bar
-
This ref is appalling.
-
This ref's a simpleton.
-
This ref is fucking shocking where have they got this ****** from?
-
This ref is going to play a part in the result, awful.
-
sorry im ten mins behind
-
This ref is shit.
-
What's the craic with this ref? He's fucking blind and clearly anti villa
-
They’re really threatening down their left side. Some testing crosses coming in
-
This ref is fucking shocking where have they got this c*** from?
Some Forest fan from the crowd apparently.
-
We are playing far,far too deep
-
What's the ref like?
-
We're resorting to hoofing it up to Hogan, which is silly.
-
We have resorted to type after scoring a goal, retreated into our box to hang onto a 1 - 0 win!
-
We are playing far,far too deep
Yep they are really pushing us back. We’re not helping at all by giving the ball away too frequently
-
What's the ref like?
He's having a great game for them
-
Christ, Alan Hutton had to tell the ref the ball went over the line.
-
Crap ref, as usual.
I still don't get our no 6 🤔🤔🤔🤔
-
We have resorted to type after scoring a goal, retreated into our box to hang onto a 1 - 0 win!
Typical Bruce tactics
-
We are inviting them on. I hope Bruce knows what he is doing.

We’re playing away from home, they’re bound to come at us.
-
Whelan is doing fuck all.
-
Whelan is doing fuck all.
Supposed to break up play, but barely visible
-
Somebody has taught the Forest players how to pass a football, which surely isn't fair.
-
We are inviting them on. I hope Bruce knows what he is doing.
Hope springs eternal
-
Some sloppy passing.
-
See, this is becoming a little lacksidasical, and that leads to,sloppiness and mistakes.
-
Looks like we scared and making many mistakes
-
Very poor passing and movement so far
-
Our away fans are terrible with songs. Why go and be miserable singing the same generic monotone rubbish every week?
-
They kicked Agnew out of the Villa area. Boy the officials really want us to lose today dont they?
-
Whelan is doing fuck all.
Hush. When Whelan does something notable it usually means a gaff :)
-
i wish we would stop the Elmo hoof
-
6 finally doing something
-
Not a Whelan apologist but good to see him getting in front of something for once.
-
Clearing our lines by hoof and hope so concede possession
-
Their goal is coming if we keep this up.
-
So bloody powderpuff when we finally try and go forward.
-
Our away fans are terrible with songs. Why go and be miserable singing the same generic monotone rubbish every week?
Maybe go away if you can, and start some songs 😀
-
Why can't we kick a ball to one of our own players? And why have I been asking this question for the best part of the last decade?
-
The goal aside this really has been very poor indeed
-
I blame the Whelan factor for our slow ponderousness
-
Fancy us to nick another on the break. Forest have had plenty of territory but hardly anything on target.
They put a lot into beating Arsenal last week so not sure their fitness will hold up near the end.
-
We all know one's not enough, so Bruce needs to do something about it at half time, or we'll be sweating the last ten minutes as Forest press for an equaliser
-
SJ 💪💪💪💪
6 almost set it up with "good" foul
-
They've got a free kick in a dangerous positiuon 'cos we fucked up a throw in. Again
-
Why can't we kick a ball to one of our own players? And why have I been asking this question for the best part of the last decade?
That is a bit radical!
-
Whelan you idiot
-
Cynical trip, Whelan. Luckily the free kick was mince.
-
Pass the ball vs Bristol and score 5.
Today we have mostly hit it long to Hogan.....
-
Our away fans are terrible with songs. Why go and be miserable singing the same generic monotone rubbish every week?
I wouldn’t criticize our fans who travel in their thousands spending their hard earned money following the club.
-
Our 'tactics' away from home are a joke.
-

Really, Wolves away was definition of a poor performance.
To me this has been a professional away performance, no more no less.
-

Exactly. At least they're there..
-
Whelan's got more tatts than Max Cady
-
I blame the Whelan factor for our slow ponderousness
As opposed to the Usain Bolt-esque Mile Jedinak?
-
Forest are going to come out at breakneck speed after the half.
-
Why can't we kick a ball to one of our own players? And why have I been asking this question for the best part of the last decade?
Whelan doesn't want the ball and Hourihane is playing too far forward. We look very solid defensively though. Get the second and this will be a cruise.
-
Luckily Forest seem to have little in attack. Good job as we are incredibly sloppy, especially in midfield.
-
You would hope that we inviting them on to open up for lightning counter breaks....
But watching how slow we are when the chance is there...its really just us inviting them on because that's how we play when in front.
-
Our away fans are terrible with songs. Why go and be miserable singing the same generic monotone rubbish every week?
Can't tell if being serious or trolling.
-
I would get Onamah on to get some legs in the midfield.
We carry on playing like this they will score.
-

Big like for that response. These guys travel and pay to support the team when the soft option is to sit in front of the telly like YT. Won't have a word said against them.
-

Agree 100%. If you don't like it change it. To change it you need to be amongst it.
-
Whelan is the reason we’re so deep he’s been fucking hopeless.
-

Agree, if you don't travel you can't criticize!
-
Come on Villa. Forest are no Peterborough, we should score a couple more.
-

More crab-like
-
Luckily Forest seem to have little in attack. Good job as we are incredibly sloppy, especially in midfield.
They scored 4 v Arsenal last week. Maybe we're defending well?
-
Glad we are 1 up, but we just can't keep the ball. Knocking constant long balls up to Hogan is depressing.
-

I don't think so at all.

Right, but I think I've spotted the flaw in that plan.
-
Just about hung on to go in one up
-

Keep the sloppiness up like this half and we’ll have done our part in letting them get a couple at least.
-
Snodgrass doesn't do enough work for me, more please Robert. Blinding cross mind.
-
I'm really surprised by the negativity.
Plenty of away games in which I could see what's coming to us e.g. Brentford a few weeks ago and it has. Today I think we've been largely fine.
Get the feeling last week is still clouding how people are viewing this game. We've played no worse than we did at Leeds or Bristol City for example.
-
Just about hung on to go in one up
Really? Sam's had nowt to do.
-

Exactly. At least they're there..
Singing is this a library? ::)
-
Really poor ref, missed Clough dropping to the floor twice. Seems to want to be the star of the show.
Just want a second goal now to hopefully seal the deal.
-
Our 'tactics' away from home are a joke.
I don't think so at all.
We play too deep and invite pressure, hoof the ball at every opportunity, can't pass four yards to the nearest player in midfield, and the overall game plan seems to be 'try and nick a goal and backs to the wall to defend it.

Hi Steve.

But it's all a bit last line isn't it? They are overrunning us in midfield.
-
Hogan was brave for that goal. Their keeper seemed to lack a bit of pluck 're the possible collision mind....
-
Just get the result villa...we're half way there.
-
Just about hung on to go in one up
Really? Sam's had most to do.
They’ve really had the lion’s share of the possession with little end result. You know that’s just what is being discussed in their dressing room at HT. All it takes is one good shot. We have to be much, much better if we are going to win this game.
-
Yep we are winning. I don't see the problem. For sure not the slickness and crispness of Bristol but forest are at home on the back of a big cup win a new manager. I expect us to go through the gears if they equalise. Also think they will tire
-
Let's remember we should be 2 up in any case with the Terry header.

Forest aren't that bad a side as we saw last week, just inconsistant. Hopefully they'll take points off Derby later on in the season.
If we were playing like this against Sunderland or Burton I would be worried.

No we have to be just as good again and we should win. Up to now it seems like a decent away performance.

They've had lion share possession in most games this season. Hasn't done them much good to now.
-
We're winning, yes.
However Forest have had 65% of the possession, twice as many shots as us, and are the home team coming out after HT with renewed focus. As Toronto has said, we need to do a lot better in the second half.
-
The 5 Live reporter said we dominated.
-
Yep we are winning. I don't see the problem. For sure not the slickness and crispness of Bristol but forest are at home on the back of a big cup win a new manager. I expect us to go through the gears if they equalise. Also think they will tire
If they equalise?
If we could go through the gears we should now. Kill the game, their crowd (not literally) and their momentum from last week.
A Forest equaliser and I can only see them wining.
-
Looks like Whelan is off, Bjarni coming on so I might have to take back what I said!
-
I thought whelan had a good half shame hes injured
-
Have they had a chance?
-
Oh no Benni is the new holding midfielder.
-
Our 'tactics' away from home are a joke.

If a player can't pass a ball 4 yards that isn't tactics. Forest didn't have a decent effort in the first half.
-
Bjarnasson on for Whelan.
-
LOL why do Forest have the Frog Chorus as their song? How odd.
-
I thought Forest played a lot better at Villa Park tbh.
Still long way to go.
-
STOP PLAYING HOOFBALL.
-
Went a bit flat after Terry hit the bar and they came back into it. We still looked pretty comfortable though.
Whelan off at half time and Bjarnason on. Looks like he’s lining up as the defensive midfielder which is a bit of a concern.
-
Nick one on the break, shut up shop, game over, big smiles
-

They've had lion share possession in most games this season. Hasn't done them much good to now.
To be meaningful, the stats need to show possession in attacking half or the defending half. Knocking the ball about in you own half doesn't mean very much. I find shots on target the most useful stat
-
Bjarnasson on for Whelan.
A good move if they use him as he’s meant to be as a more attacking midfielder. Not so sure if takes Whelan’s role.
-
Managed to get a stream via Facebook with somebody called Callum holding a phone in front of his TV. Great image but the lad hasn't stopped talking all through the game. Highlight of the half was his man-love for John Terry..
"Cor..look at Terry, he's so strong, he really dominates, I'd let him dominate me. Oh yeah, I'd surrender to him and let him dominate me. COME ON JT, DOMINATE ME! DOMINATE ME! DOMINATE ME!"
Mrs RCF who normally leaves me alone to watch and suffer the Villa in peace is for the first time watching a Villa game, pissing herself laughing at this mad Villa fan. The other highlight was when he let rip a fart and blamed the dog. The things we go through to watch the boys.
Oh and we need to step it up 2nd half, we're playing far too deep. Albert especially.
-
good effort snoddy
-
Good pressing by Snodgrass
-
Nearly a second there, good save from Smith.
-
Snoddy almost winning a penno. Just outside the box.
-
Why didn't we replace Whelan for Onomah. Bjarnasson doesn't make sense to me.
-
Think your feed is still on the Peterbrough game Toronto...(wink)
-
Great shot, brilliant save
-
Glenn injured which might explain that first half performance. Interesting replacement...
-
another good effort
started ok here
-
Grealish curls one wide now.
-
Much better start to the second half
-
Jack close
-
A good start to the second half.
-
Yeah we've been much better
-
Bjarnasson on for Whelan.
A good move if they use him as he’s meant to be as a more attacking midfielder. Not so sure if takes Whelan’s role.
Weren't people saying how good he was in the first half, last week; as a holding MF? (I didn't think he played well last week, but some on here thought he did alright in the first half).
-
Bugger. Stream crashed
Unbugger. It's back
-
It looks to me to be a massive pitch with loads of space.
Or are the players really small?
-
better
it’s because we have our international superstar on
he’s going to the world cup you know
-
In terms of our passing it's like watching a different team out there right now. Funny that when Whelan's not anchoring the midfield, everyone else settles.
-
Sub has given us a more attacking slant
-
Bjarnasson on for Whelan.

Weren't people saying how good he was in the first half, last week; as a holding MF? (I didn't think he played well last week, but some on here thought he did alright in the first half).
He came on against Bristol City in what I consider his best position as a left sided central midfielder. He makes a lot of very good runs and scored from a great through ball by Hutton. Can’t comment on how he did vs Peterborough.
-

WTF do Forest sing Mull of Kintyre?...

I thought he did okay in the Cup. Put himself about.
-
We’re starting to get a bit sloppy again
-
I like what he has done so far. Tucks in when we don't have the ball and goes wide when we do.
-
Sloppy Albert
-
thats an assault
-
They’ve gone two up front now. Expect the game to change.
-
Barrie Mckay on for Forest. He's always impressed me.
-
Gotta love Bruceball
-
Barney has done well since coming in.
-
I'll go for 73 minutes in the Forest equaliser sweep.
-
BB has played well since coming in
-
That’s what happens when you fuck about
-
Chester that was shit
-
chester FFS
-
Looks like the ref gets to be impartial by giving them all the decisions in the first half and us in the second
-
The number of anti Blose songs seems to increase with the degree of drunkenness among the Villa faithful.
-
LOL Snoddy
-
Snodgrass has done well this half
-
Wish we would take a shot from around the box. Ironically trying to walk it in given how bad some of our play is.
-
This referee is very good.
-

That's one of the most frustrating aspects of us. When you're in the six yard box, welly it. Who knows where it'll rebound?
-
Snodgrass has done well this half
He looks a different player.
-
We need this second goal. They’ve had 60% possession this half.
-
We are playing the ref, go down get a foul.
-
I wish we would fucking score another now and not let them near our goal. Wouldn't that be nic
-
The ref has had his fair share of pies judging by the Gabby he’s wearing around his waist
-
good tackle Thor
-
come on Villa - put them to bed
-
You can see what’s gonna happen here.
-
Hogan is working incredibly hard across the line, including defensively.
-
Anybody else think that Jack has been bulking up a bit? He doesn't seem to get pushed off the ball so easily anymore.
I think that is what was needed with him.
-
You can see what’s gonna happen here.
Yep, we're gonna hit them on the break and get a second. Oh ye of little faith!
-
Fcukin Elmo.
-

Yeah.Think the ref has too
-

I think that is what was needed with him.
His legs have always been massive. He’s growing up from a kid to a man. He’s definitely stronger
-
Forest have been awful second half. We could do with a bit more pace on the counter attack.
-
Get Keinan on now.
-
This is looking very Villa.
-

I think that is what was needed with him.
There was an interview with him somewhere last week and he said he'd been doing a lot of work in the gym to bulk up a bit
-
Anybody else think that Jack has been bulking up a bit? He doesn't seem to get pushed off the ball so easily anymore.
I think that is what was needed with him.
Yeah.Think the ref has too
He forgot to do his arms though. No guns.
-
Forest have been awful second half. We could do with a bit more pace on the counter attack.
We need to hold the ball up better and keep possession. We’ve been very poor at that overall tonight
-
Forest are dirty bastards.
-
We’ve been excellent today.
At winning free kicks.
-
We need this second goal. They’ve had 60% possession this half.
Who’s had the best chances?
-
Typical Bruce performance, playing to hold on now.
-
albert aint been good today
-
How on earth does Mills claim to the ref he got the ball there when he just went through the back of Grealish?
-
Thor's done well since coming on.
-
Typical Bruce performance, playing to hold on now.
Wouldn't you try and hold onto a 1-0 win with 12 minutes to go?
-
Terry class
-
Jamie Ward coming on.
-
Thor's done well since coming on.
Arguably our best player.
-
Bruce should look to bring on Keinan now for Scotty and hold the ball up.
-
albert aint been good today
No not his best game for us.
Snod MoM for me
-
Typical Bruce performance, playing to hold on now.

I'll be well-chuffed with 0-1. However, if they equalise then Bruce is a clueless c***.

When leading away from home, always ask yourself "What would Tim Sherwood do?"
-
albert aint been good today
No not his best game for us.
Snod MoM for me
Jack for me.
-
Adomah doesn’t have many 6 or 7/10 performances. Terrible today (although I didn’t see the 1st half).
-
Is it me or is Hourihane utterly shit?
-
Keinan coming on
-
Bruce should look to bring on Keinan now for Scotty and hold the ball up.
Or, leave Hogan on and get Albert off? Team Keinan and Scott together?
-

No not his best game for us.
Snod MoM for me
Jack for me.
Me too. Very influential all over the pitch.
-
give him service he scores
but he needs more service

Talk about how he is single handedly responsible for Harry Kane?

And don’t do that.

It's not you
-

I've been thinking that for a while. For all the talk that he is a ball-player / playmaker, he is very sloppy sometimes.
-

I just think he is very slow in his decision making.
-
I feel sick.
-
Come on you fuckers! Don't fuck it up!
-
Hope Davis puts in a better shift than last week. He was like a barge with a broken engine against Peterborough.
-
Not Jack's best effort
-
Nearly an equaliser there, Forest's best shot of the game.
-
ffs why am i crapping now

Are you a barge afficianado?

10 years of late goals being conceded? Mayber?
-
Come on you fuckers! Don't fuck it up!
Winston would have been proud of those words.
-
My arsehole is gnashing like a vampire rottweiler, get this won Villa.

Back 5 have been good tonight.

If only we left one up from corners....
-
BB been good so far.

Davis looks leggy already

Johnstone needs signing perm

Has his true position been finally identified, as holding MF?

Lock the thread.
-
Incredible that that is Terrys first yellow of the season.
-
Johnston didn't know much about that almost palmed it into the goal it flew off the bar.
-
Balls Adomah goal ruled out for offside
-
Bollocks, off-side
-
Terry really is a tremendous leader
-
4 fucking minutes ???
-
I have opened two bottles of wine. Fuck this!
-
Johnstone MOTM again.

Your suggestion makes me retch.
-
We need to keep the ball better and kill this off
-
4 fucking minutes ???
no injuries neither
-
Where the fuck did they get 4 mins extra time from?
-
I have opened two bottles of wine. Fuck this!
I’ve just soiled my long johns.
-
Albert coming off for Taylor
-
Terry really is a tremendous leader
I reckon the players in front of him know they have to do their bit when we lose the ball. Or else!

Lovely professional win there.
-

-
Never in doubt!
-
Ace!
-
Yesss boys!
-
Good win. Squeaky bum at times without the second goal but good 3 points, and up to 4th
-
Arrive. Take three points. Go home.
Plenty more of those needed between now and May.
-
Snoddy was excellent. Such a clever player.
-
My anus is still sqeaking, but well done lads.
-
Brill.A 0-1 that felt like 0-3
-

Hah!
Aye, we'll take it. Forest played one of the worst halves of football I've ever seen there in the 2nd half, happy to be wrong about the renewed purpose. 4th now, three pts shy of 3rd... dare to dream
