Nottingham Forest 0-1 Aston Villa post match thread

I mean as squad players and I'm including the loanees.

Lets not forget that we are now playing in a grossly inferior league, which helps greatly!

What I find strange is your need to put a dampner on what was an excellent away performance which put a smile on my face!

I think 10-12 is being generous, I'd say 5-6 could hold their own and that's all.

Johnsone
Terry
Chester
Grealish
Hutton (I know, I know but he can do a job at that level)
Snodgrass
Kodjia
Albert
Elmo (possibly)
De Laet (possibly)
Maybe Green & Davis but a bit early to say

Agree with this. Was chatting in a London barbers on Saturday about football, and the consensus was very much that the top six in the Premier League are head and shoulders above the rest, and then there's essentially fourteen top flight and ten second tier teams with not much between them.

In the barbers, you say? Well, no wonder they’d be head and shoulders above ....

Thought it was quite a remarkable stat the Terry's booking was his first of the season.

Proof of the theory that some have put forward on here that ex-England captains find it hard to accumulate cards?

This, and Terry's ability to avoid blatant fouls, for me.
