Aston Villa v Forest Pre-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

I'll be surprised if they don't comfortably make the CL. They've lost 3 games in 4 months and their run in is decent after they play us.

I think Mings back instead of Torres, other then that we have so many choices it is tough to call.

Agree with that. I'd also start with Onana who was very good last night and maybe bring Garcia in for Cash.

Or use the BP coupons.

Don't play the high-line, Elanga will leave our lads for dead. But do press their meatheads at the back.

We need to keep boosting the goal difference.
Villa to win 8-0.

[VillaTim]

Just play as we have last few weeks and the result will sort itself out. We are playing very well , confidence is high and the depth off the bench along with the starting XI is exceptional. We need a strong ref though as i can see them being very physical and some nasty challenges flying in.

I like to get a flavour so asking here also to when will the PSG pre match thread be up? Any thoughts?

If we are to wait for this match to finish I think Saturday evening Sunday morning has to be up latest
that's if it's not ok to have an early pre match given it's our biggest game since 82.

And where exactly can this timing of thread be discussed ?

Grand National day 2023 - Champions League chasing Newcastle come to VP in good form having beat us earlier in the season and get a hiding 3-0.

Grand National day 2025 - Champions League chasing Forest come to VP in good form having beat us earlier in the season and they'll get a hiding 3-0.

We beat them the day after the 'Grand National that never was' in 1993, at their place, McGrath's soaring header.

Grand National day 1981, we won 4-2 at Leicester.
Half time they announced Aldanati had won ( I had ｣20 on at 10/1)
Full time looked at the other scores and Ipswich had lost at Albion.

Best day of the year, apart from going and seeing us lose at Arsenal a few weeks later.

It値l be launched after the Forest game, probably by PWS, as he said in the CL thread.
This was the discussion, so was that.

I think there should be a thread each week to discuss when the match thread goes up. I知 sure the folk of H&V would welcome such a development.

I for one would love it.

Win please. We should have beaten them at their place.

[rob_bridge]

We are going to win the next 4 in all comps.

Newcastle home will be the next dont

Yea not a chance their not making the top 4 unless they have a total collapse, which has not been forthcoming all season, great season for them to be fair.

Stating the obvious, but given how strong defensively they are, I think we need to score first here, they get the first goal, it will be low block from them then hit us on the counter.
I know with a massive game against PSG coming up it will be tempting to rest some, but I think we need both some physicality and guile to open this lot up. Given that Id start Mings and McGinn alongside Kamara and bring Asensio in from the start.

Martinez
Cash
Konsa
Mings
Digne
Kamara
Tielemans
Asensio
Rashford
Rogers
Mcginn

2-0 us Rashford, Asensio

[Smirker]

We're playing well
We'll win this game
CL again
That is our aim
Just 8 games left
To reach our goal
Can't stop us now
We're on a roll

3-0 Villa FTF
