Nottingham Forest v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[ciggiesnbeer]

Have we ever won a 5.30 kick-off?

Its not on TV though right? Thats the kiss of death.

[Tayls_7]

I didn't see a premier league club coming in for any of our other midfielders

I did see Lansbury demonstrating why he can't play that role

And that wet dishrag could? I don't know if you have noticed but he was transferred as we languish mid table in tier two. Awfully ineffective footballer particularly in execution of any defensive responsibilities.

[Villafirst]

Can we have a Brighton away performance? What happened to that form? Everybody reckoned we were play-off certainties at the time, if you recall, if not an automatic spot??  It's within the squad to play like that - do you agree?

Have we ever won a 5.30 kick-off?

13 September 2014.

Albion in the Cup was late kickoff, wasn't it?

[PeterWithesShin]

Pretty sure the 1-0 at home to Chelsea in 2014 was a late KO as well.

[Deano's Mullet]

Liverpool away 1-0 Agbonlahor was a late Saturday KO on Sky.

[Sexual Ealing]

Fuck me, we're magic at 5.30!

442 with Hot Lips and Angela in the middle.  Adomah and Grealish wide.

Regan on WM earlier said that Bruce had hinted at changes and reckoned that we might go to 3-5-2 tomorrow.

The team he hinted at was:

                        Johnstone

       Chester         Elphick       Baker

Bree                                            Taylor

  Hourihane        Lansbury      Bjarnason

               
              Hogan                Kodjia


Can't see it myself, especially after the midfield's showing on Tuesday.  I think Bruce would go with Richards ahead of Elphick in a back three as well. 

[aj2k77]

Would be a poor formation.

[cdbearsfan]

Three centre backs is shit.

I used to love a back 5 when we played it under Taylor back in the day. The fullbacks were basically wingers.

Ahhh the days of, Charles and Wright. Proper fullbacks.
