Aston Villa v Nottingham Forest - Pre Match Thread

[levico]

The closer the match the more apprehensive I get.

The quality should be there but I'm still scarred by what I witnessed at Ashton Gate. Just hope we've got more bottle today.

I coach a boys team so can't make Sunday games, but I will be getting text alerts during the game. For the past 5 years
my team talk has started by saying "Villa have ruined my Saturday, please don't ruin my Sunday"
Hopefully the new dawn begins today. UTV

Just head Forest have not scored away from home this season... always worry about stats like that!

If ever a team needs to break a bad run of stats, or a striker hasn't scored a goal for ages, you can always bank on the Villa to help you out.

I said we needed to get rid of the old players to bring in new ones who don't think like this and won't let it happen, which we've done. As a fan, I need to stop thinking it as well I think (but it's bloody tough!).

It's going to be a big gate today judging by how busy it is around the ground. 2-0 to Villa.

Doesn't look like it'll be televised in the states.

Bunn, Baker, Richards, Bacuna, Gestede, Amavi, Jedinak

[Toronto Villa]

Gardner, Westwood... must mean Jedinak and Tshibola aren't fit. Balls. Although Jedinak also had a long trip. Why no Adomah at least on the bench?

[Richard]

Adomah has an injury tho nothing major I believe.
