Nottingham Forest v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[DB]

All I know is under Unai, we have had more nervy big matches since he was here than last 10yrs before. They don't get easier, but better this than the alternative.

Unai’s achilles heel has been games where passion and emotion takes over. Derbies and cup matches. We can’t be passive tonight, if we are we’ll be beat.

This. Lets boss them. The thing that would bring my nervousness closer to panic mode would be a pre match message about Martinez "feeling back pain in the warm up ...".

Feeling nicely confident and relaxed.

Seconded. Though that may be 4 pints of IPA talking.

[Hampshire Villa]

Please don’t start Bailey and/ or Sancho and please don’t bring them on as subs

Tanswell reporting that Onana is part of the travelling party. Suggests that he'd be on the bench at least, otherwise you'd just let him rest.

For a win or a draw?

Tanswell now reporting that Onana starts

[Dave]

Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Pau, Digne; Onana, Tielemans; McGinn, Rogers, Buendia; Watkins

Happy with that

It's so annoying that we stress and fret so much about the odd semi final here and there, yet the likes of Chelsea and ManUre (during their recent shit period) just seem to stumble into finals and win trophies by accident almost.

Thing is we are not to be compared to those teams.

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

Onana starts.

Get in.

[SamTheMouse]

Shitting myself already.
