Aston Villa v Forest Match Thread

[PhilVill]

Thata about as good a team we could have hoped for to be honest. Please just have a go at them boys, make it a hellish first 30 mins for them.

Could be Torres at 6

[Crown Hill]

I called it! Well done Unai!

I'd say he's got a little more on the line than you though CH! If it backfires there'll be hell on (I think it's worth a try).

Still chuffed given everyone was being so disparaging!

Wait until you see how disparaging we are if it doesn't work

Good call though.

Cheers! Win the duels and we’ll be ok as we have so many ball players!

They'd have stuck him there in the graphic if so, would they not?

The only other scenario I'd suggest apart from that 4-2-3-1 would be that we're matching up with them and it's the same 3-5-2 that they're playing.

But it would be very out of character for Unai.

Hope all the young Villans get to witness a magical night.

[Mellin]

I'm glad he's done that. Lindelof's a good player. Solid. Gonna be key how he does. The alternative would've led to a big problem.

Bit odd they aren't just playing Gibbs-White if he's on the bench.

[Rigadon]

Out of character and unexpected for their perma grinning manager.

I assume that he comes on dressed like the Phantom of the Opera if they go a couple of goals down. Unless they need to, then don't risk screwing him up for the rest of the season.

Or maybe it's a Maddison style "vibes" outing and they'd rather he's there with the team even if they've said he can't play.

[Rigadon]

Bit odd they aren't just playing Gibbs-White if he's on the bench.

Could just be a physiological thing.  I doubt he’ll play much.

It's his hair transplant that gets me. It must have been extremely cheap.

Even if he can't play (m)any minutes, you'd have him on the bench for penalties.

They do cheap ones? Interesting.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Lovely! Even better, John McGinn to lift the trophy!

[Rigadon]

Ah Andy Reid. You can get muted.
