Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest: Pre-Match Thread

[Drummond]

Tense, but we'll win.

[Villa Lew]

This is gonna be tough, if we start like we did on Sunday, we'll lose. Along with Norwich, Forest are the form team at the moment, lost only 2 all season. Grabban and ex Harriers and Villa fan Joe Lolley are the danger men.

If SJM plays Villa win, if not going for a draw.

I don't think we look conservative at all.

Sunday we had Hourihane, Grealish, Adomah, Kodjia and Abraham and would have had McGinn as we did at Derby.

All of them are a threat going forwards.

If Chester was playing injured then who will replace him?

[Axl Rose]

2-1 us

What I meant is the line ups have been pretty similar to what Bruce was picking (with the obvious exception of defensive roles) but obviously the football has been worlds apart.  I can recall there being quite a few disgruntled people on match threads when the likes of Hutton & Elmo etc retained their places when people were expecting the likes of Bree and O'Hare to be drafted in and Bolasie to be starting.

I'm not trying to be controversial and there's no implied criticism here at all, I was just speculating that I think he may pick Elmo over Bolasie for the time being.  I may be wrong!

Bolasie doesn't look like a starter yet. It's easy to forget after such a brilliant goal by Hutton, but the move actually started from a really poor crossfield ball from Bolasie that went astray.

Just keep winning Villa!

I feel for him over that, his misplaced pass is going to be viewed for time immemorial.

Any one know places to watch in Boston MA

I think this is an AVTV stream, ie. not on ESPN+, so assuming you have a subscription you should be able to stream it on your phone or laptop anywhere there is a good (wifi) signal. If you were in CT you could come watch at my house.

If they aren’t ready because of a misplaced pass then none of our squad should start.

And the cross at Derby for McGinn's headed goal?

Thanks CT, that means I need to take lap top as does not seem to stream well on IPad.
Where in CT are you?

[Damo70]

My gut feeling is a 2-2 draw. As Villa Lew has already said, Grabban and Lolley are a big goal threat for them.
