Nottingham Forest v Aston Villa Pre Match Thread

Pleased that Grabban is out for them. 2-2 I reckon. On the one hand yesterday will have taken a lot out of us. On the other hand the win will have really boosted the players.

[Jon Crofts]

Villa in routine 2 nil win shocker.

Pleased that Grabban is out for them. 2-2 I reckon. On the one hand yesterday will have taken a lot out of us. On the other hand the win will have really boosted the players.

They have had an extra days rest after a handy win too. Daryl Murphy in and Grabban out is a huge plus for us, Murphy keeps up MON's fixation with defensive forwards ala Heskey.

We do need changes though, Whelan won't be able to start 2 games in 4 days, McGinn will come back in with Hourihane dropping back one. Lolley destroyed Hourihane at Villa Park mind. Both of our widemen didn't impress v Blues so Green could come in to give us extra legs. Could do with Tuanzebe or Chester at least making the bench, any hope?

Think a point would be decent in the circumstances, 2-2.

[JUAN PABLO]

0-3 Villa

Need to keep the run of winning games going. Winning against playoff rivals also helps us. For good measure the quitting duo of mon and keane need putting in their place. Come on Villa boys! UTV!

[Three Spires Villa]

Win this, McGinn to start, Tammy with the winner. 1-0 Villa

Can imagine Keane advising their defenders to hack into Jack at every opp, the anger-issued cnut.

McGinn coming back definitely helps improve the quality and freshen things up.

[Toronto Villa]

MON will play the MON away at home. Soak up pressure and counter. The question is will he have the players to do that. We need to dominate possession and make our chances count. I can see Green and McGinn starting this one for Adomah and Whelan. Otherwise no changes.
