Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest: Pre-Match Thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Weather down in South West is shocking. Afternoon off, so leaving work soon for Villa Park.

Shocking? You're just getting the tail end of Storm Diana. Some of us have been weathering the tropical storm in the middle of the Atlantic for the last two days and still managed to get out and about. Enjoy the game.

I'm more nervous about this game than Sunday. We really need the 3 points, I just hope the players aren't too bruised and battered from the game against our neighbours. 1-0 Villa. Axel from a corner in the 2nd half.

A win tonight really sets us up right to attack the play-off positions going into Christmas, 2-0 Aston Villa win, the rich vein of form continues.

We've got arguably the toughest two away games of the season coming up after tonight so a win would be good.

Boro away isn't tough for us.

The Albion game has the potential to be 5-5 or something daft like that.

I don't think one slight nudge on Huttonaldo did much damage!  The only person I can see missing the game would be Albert, and hopefully Super McGinn will be back.

Forest love to foul .
They have most yellow cards in league.
Expect them to have a few more tonight.

Grealish needs looking after and it's concerning having Colback and Yacob (two agressive players ) in their midfield.

Yacob makes Craig Gardner look cultured and won't be surprised he'll be doing kefitenbeld style early hack on Jack.

I like to Mcginn therefore for this one add the tenacity but also whelan or jedinak next to him

Forest are decent but villa will perhaps perform better than the derby result and with controlled position and attacking play let's say 3-1.

Grealish
Abraham
Kodjia

Grabban to score for them !

Well one thing v Boro I'll be less than hopeful every corner we concede .
And any long throw or set pieces

Aidan Flint (type of centre half we need) and Ayla are ridiculously dangers and if villa defend like did against blues corners then it's a major problem.

2-2

for Villa Tammy and a Grabban OG

for Forest Grabban and Lolley.

2-1, it should be a tougher game than Sunday.

He scores with his head,
He scores with his head,
Jack Grealish,
He scores with his head.

Hoping for another off any part of his anatomy tonight.

I maybe should have put potentially the toughest as I think they are arguably the two strongest sides in the league.

Team looks good, McGinn and Bolasie in.

[jwarry]

Mmm we need a new defence

[SashasGrandad]

He scores with his head,

Jack Grealish,

I was almost right with my comment

He scores with his balls
He scores with his balls
Tammy Abraham
He scores with his balls

Or was it his dick?
