Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest pre-match thread

Hopefully today at corners we will use a goalkeeper instead of a wrestler.

It's going to be football versus Dycheball with their two absolute units at the back battering their way through the game. I fancy a win but I don't think it will be a big margin and I'm expecting a very though dour game. 1-0 to the good guys.
 
Edit: Hopefully I'm still suffering a hangover from NYE celebrations and being negative and we'll see a spectacular 4-0 victory to the good guys!!!

Their Brazilian striker Igor Jesus is someone I recognised at the start of the season as a possible Watkins-type player in that he's tenacious, holds the ball up well and presses very effectively (and, for Smirker, he doesn't even score many goals!!).

Just got to VP. Paths and roads all fine , no snow

Most paths I’ve walked on along Trinity Road and over to Perry Barr still have a covering of snow

Bit gutted. My mate who often sends me his ticket has been trying to forward it to me but the tech has let us down and the ticket’s not showing in my app. I’ve deleted, re-installed, logged out, logged in. Nothing.

I’ve been in his seat v Arsenal & Man City this season so if we don’t win today blame the bastard app.

On way. 5 layers.

No issues with buses from town

Team pretty much as expected then.  Bench looks ‘stretched’.

Fully expecting Gibbs-White to turn into Zidane today
