Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest pre-match thread

[Toronto Villa]

We will bounce back and win. Players will return, our focus will be on moving forward. Forest are shit and if we play our game we will smash them. I am sure our players are highly motivated to start a new run of victories and a game at Villa Park only a few days on is a perfect way to do it. 3-0 Ollie, McGinn and Malen.

[Mister E]

This is a must win. Victory against these and the Arsenal game will be a mere blip on an otherwise upwards trajectory. The more clear space we have ahead of the chasing pack, the better.

Agreed, tough game coming up.

It's nice to have a game a few days after we all watched Woolwich win the league. The players and Manager will want to shake it off and being at home is ideal, against opposition that we should be able to overcome.

Having the suspended players back will help and with a trip to Hellhurst around the corner, prevailing in this game is far more important than it was last night. But, as often happens in football we will see a surprise and that will be the concession of an early goal and the brow of the crowd collectively furrowing. But not for long.

3-1

Forest are poo and we should be winning this comfortably.

How's our beautiful Dougie Louise doing for them?

Looked him up on Wikipedia the other day - think he’d played half a dozen games for them this season, so I’d assume he’s not been that great.

Not exactly a Dyche type player. He's been caught up in the mess there, signed by Edu and not wanted by likes of Nuno and Dyche. Can't get or stay fit, suspect his conditioning isn't what it should be.

It does have that feel to it, and I'd say that even if we had won last night.
