Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest pre-match thread

[Richard]

Chance to go 2nd Saturday lunchtime before any of our rivals play. 3 1 to us, feeling optimistic.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

I wonder if he'd celebrate if he did.

Probably mimic a short putt.

[Chip Butty 111]

2:1 Villa, with an XG 0.9...and back in the hunt..

[Drummond]

Win. Could be ugly.

[Brazilian Villain]

Win. Could be ugly.

Sean Dyche and Evangelos Marinakis will be in attendance, it's bound to be.

They showed a close-up of Ian Woan on the sidelines on MOTD the other night and he too looked a far cry from the dashing, healthy-haired bounder of 1993. Funny how it all falls away.

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

Dyche will love seeing what's happening to Martinez from corners so I'll give them a goal. 3-1.

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

I think we’re due a comfortable win.

3-0 to us.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Looks like Wood, Ndoye, Anna and that cheating swine Yates may be out for this one.

Think they will also miss Elanga's pace.

Surprisingly, they have conceded the most goals from corners apparently. Although without Onana and Mings, difficult to see us scoring from one.

We should send Martinez up for them, there's always a goal when he's in the box.
