Nottingham Forest v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[Steve67]

Lansbury is not suspended apparently. Got to play him.

[Chris Jameson]

Tshibola and McCormack can't play.

You're not wrong there.

[Tony Erdington]

we cant be as bad as we were against the nylons , everyone ups their game against us, forest will be no exception, a difficult evening, unless we find their goal.

[TonyD]

Could be another 6.0 there.   Sit down!  No. 

[in exile]

Could be another 6.0 there.   Sit down!  No.

Eh?

[LukeJames]

Could be another 6.0 there.   Sit down!  No.

we cant be going to 5 at the back with only a few days to prepare.  Without Jedi I'd consider playing Gardner as dm.

[PaulTheVillan]

From Bruce's comments this morning, I think it'll be a 3 centre backs

Johnston
Chester Elphick Baker
Bree                                          Amavi
Lansbury Hourihane
Grealish
Kodjia Hogan

Gardner has to start and anchor the midfield.

Gardner has to start and anchor the midfield.

He's always played pretty well at the City Ground.

[Nelly]

You can't see us winning another game?

Sorry for the slow reply, Ads. I've gone from expecting Villa to win, to hoping Villa might somehow win, the "be happy with a draw" phase, to accepting we probably won't win right now. I've learnt a little humility, if nothing else!

[TimTheVillain]

Surely we're due a decent display ... even if it's on Sky !

Hogan for a debut goal, Lansbury to dominate the creative side of things, Hourihane to get his left foot in action -- looking good, looking good.

Just need Jonnie Kodjia to get his chances on target, and I'm going for a 2-1 Villa win ... 89 min we'll be 2-0 up, and the final 5 mins will be as per.

WELL IM OFF TO THE PUB MYSELF NOW

[Leicester_Villian]

Gardner MUST be nowhere near the team ..... sorry but he has been dreadful all season and has done nothing to warrant a place
