Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest pre-match thread

[stubbsyandy]

Don’t know if it’s ever been mentioned before but, apparently, Liverpool have some players that are injured!!

They kept that quiet!

[Risso]

They've won once in 8 games, last time out against a West Ham team devoid of any confidence whatsoever, and who had a man sent off. They've win 2 away games all season. Let's not build them up into something they're not.

What was your score prediction to the Sheff Utd home game?
I'm expecting a Villa win but I think it will be tougher than many are predicting.

EDIT: Just to add, Newcastle's away form was shocking prior to their visit to Villa Park. They came and pressed us hard to which we had no answer.

Exactly where I am.

Not sure how long Awoyini has been back, but he makes a massive difference.

You need to look at your stats again. In the league, they have won 3 in the 8 since they changed managers. The first was 3-1 at Newcastle after being a goal down. They have also scored in every match, even the losses and seem to be a hit on the counter with speed team.  This is truly a game that we can’t afford not to be prolific.

We're better than them. Why do we always worry?

Years of experience!

Even when we were 5-1 up against Brighton, I wasn't totally relaxed!

[Nunkin1965]

I think we're all mentally damaged from the Villa in the past!
We somehow think it will all go wrong but Unai is turning that mindset around.

Very true. The big difference now is I'm so relaxed for the final minutes of a game. As I'm sure you're aware, that was never the case. Quite the opposite in fact and with good reason.

We were better than them before we played them earlier in the season.

[Bobby Boy]

We ain't losing 4 home games on the bounce. No way Jose.

A great chance to put some distance between us and Tottenham too.

2-1 Villa.

Is it that bad? Dreadful stuff. All against a shower of wankers x 3.

Let's just give up then, shall we? We're fourth in the league, the rest of the country is taking notice of us and we're worried about Nottingham Forest.

[PaulWinch again]

Well no, I’m not sure anyone is saying we’ll lose are they? I think it’s more acknowledging they do have some tricky players to deal with. I think we’ll win, but I can imagine them putting up some stiff resistance initially.
