Nottingham Forest v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Drummond]

Just to clarify, I wouldn't pick it, bit could see Emery doing something like that to shore it up away form home and to get Forest thinking. Maatsen and Rogers on the left could be really dangerous.

One thing that hasn't been said yet - have we ever gone into a big European game as the experienced team?

[Mellin]

Just dawned on me that we simply need to go DWW in the next three games to lock in the best season in...how many years? Argument for '82, whether we went on to win the final or not. Anyway, that has caused me to severely shit myself.

                       Martinez
Konsa.   Lindelof. Torres.  Maatsen 
           Onana.        Tielemans
Cash.   .       McGinn.       Rogers
                    Watkins

Sort of side McLeish would pick at say Spurs away.

Anybody know who the ref is? Hoping it’s someone who won’t be influenced by the crowd and will clamp down on anything physical!

[Somniloquism]

Find out Tuesday as they announced the team for the Tuesday game on Sunday and the Wednesday today. But it will be a European ref so I suspect they will.

At the very least, I'm hoping he's not Greek.

Turkish perhaps...
