Saturday 24th, kick-off 3pm.

Time to get the home form back on track.

Pau back, Ollie scoring again, JJ getting back into form.

3-1 Villa.

It'll be tougher than expected but going for a 2-1 home win. Hope I'm wrong and we trounce them.

[Dogtanian]

I'd love a clean sheet and a few tasty goals either side of half time.

[darren woolley]

I reckon we will win 2-0.

[olaftab]

I reckon we will win 2-0.

That will do me.

[Holte132]

This is a must-win game for me! My brother supports Forest and I'll never hear the last of it if they take even a point!

[Mister E]

After the really scratchy away game at the City Ground, we should be really hyped up to put this game to bed. Lenglet and Torres will get more pressure from Forest's large No.9 than Fulham managed and they will be no pushover, IMHO.

[Risso]

Despite the injuries, the first eleven we can put is out is really good. We've played well in the last two games, and so we need to reclaim the excellent early season home form. 3-0 Villa.

[Brend'Watkins]

They're not near the same form they were when we last played them.  That said, they have more than most exposed our high line so we need to be on our toes. I think we have too much up top for then to be taking the game to us and I expect we will win quite comfortably.

[Hookeysmith]

Need to win this as i think Fulham might get a something at Mold Trafford.

We owe these after a poor show at their place - i think we will have our tails up and first goal is critical

We need the early version of SUE team that was out the traps like a scolded dog and put them to bed early

[RamboandBruno]

For some reason I think this will be close. 2-1 us.
(Bailey, Watkins)

[Rigadon]

We'll batter them. 

[Paul.S]

Just like they did at their place, they’ll sit back and try and hit us on the break.
It’s what the majority of teams will do and have been doing to us so a quick start is vital to bring them out.
I’ll go for a 3-0 win with an early goal from Ramsey, another before half time from Watkins and a much needed goal from Diaby in the second half.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We'll batter them. 

I hope you're right but I think they'll give us a real game. By all accounts they really battered West Ham at the weekend and it could quite easily have been 5-0 rather than just 2-0. The word I keep hearing is 'aggressive', they fight for everything. We'll need to be ready for a battle and hope our forwards have their shooting boots on the right feet.

Expecting a very tough game but no excuses for anything other than a home win.

[VILLA MOLE]

They have some tidy forwards ,  I like Elanga wish we had picked him up
