Aston Villa v Nottingham Forest Pre-Match Thread

[russon]

The limit of my ambition today is that Lansbury inadvertently steps onto the wrong coach afterwards

Just about to set off. I know it's a bit early but I have to go into Bristol on the way.

The sun is shining and I have a very pleasent vibe that 3 points are heading our way. Have a great day everyone. UTV.

Charles will score a cracker from just outside the box.

There is not much sun about up here but agree on 3 points.

Three hour train journey from Aberystwyth - please win.

That brings back memories of studying there between 2000-2003.

If I remember correctly, the 9:30am train and plenty of Stella. Great days. Unless it rained and we had to get on a replacement bus from Borth or Dovey Junction. Still, there were some great days in 2001, particularly the 3-2 win that sent Coventry down, and beating Bolton 3-2 also to go top of the league in October.

Oh, and £5 tickets with an NUS card for the Holte.

Hope they win for you mate

I take it there's no team news yet? Hoping we play 4-4-2 again, with Davis and Kodija up front. A potentially frightening attack in the Championship.

[Legion]

Not until 4.30ish.

Good memories, Axl! Daughter at Uni now, last year but we spend lots of time here. Having to make do with Brewdog Punk IPA these days :-)

That sounds pretty good to me, mate.

I loved living in Aberystwyth, especially between May to September. My mum and dad loved coming to visit, too. Haven't been back for over 10 years now due to living abroad, but will take my wife there one day. I'm sure alot has changed, but I'm hoping Andy's Records is still there!

Lansbury and Jedinak expected not to feature.

 Very low scoring day today in the two top flights

Hopefully we can buck the trend
