Aston Villa v Forest Match Thread

[Mellin]

Sangaree, Murillo, Aina.

[LeonW]

Come on Villa!!!

[rob_bridge]

On their team, that'll do. None of their doubtful players starting.

Apart from Gibbs white who are the others? I’m genuinely ignorant.

I didn’t know Forest used to be managed by Brian Clough.  Mad.   

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I’d guess Lindeloff is I there to help defending long throws and corners, screen the back 4 and give the ball to Tielemans a lot.  Bit of a gamble but better than going with Bogarde who just isn’t up to this.

Bogarde hasn't kicked on.

Beeb saying it 3-5-2 which would be massive gamble.

Cash & Digne as wing backs in a back 5 would be horrendous. There's a lot more to midfield play at this level than just winning headers and getting stuck in. Even more pressure on Tielemans to get turned on the ball tonight as Lindelof simply won't be able to. Easy pressing target for Forest.

Let's hope Youri can be bothered tonight as Bogarde carried him in the last two games (first 30 minutes against Forest he was sleep walking and the Spurs game he may as well have not been there).

We need big performances from everybody tonight. Get it right and a 3-0 Villa win.

Hudson-Odoi is out for the season. Ndoye is the other who is back on the bench tonight having missed games.

[TaxDodger]

This flag is annoyingly large. It’s all well and good when the teams come out, but where am I going to put it when the match starts? It’s too big to fit under my seat. Even if we win the evening is ruined.

[PeterWithesShin]

We're gonna fuck these so hard they'll start an OnlyFans page.

[Chip Butty 111]

Raucous for the warm up...

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

Win, just win.

COYL

[Hopadop]

I love that man

[PaulWinch again]

I love that man

I’ll love him even more if he leads us to a win

[ROBBO]

Lindelof is in to take Anderson out of the game, brave call but I like it.

he can't do worse than Bogarde who seems to get worse the more experience he gains.

[PeterWithesShin]

If SJM and Youri play well we'll be off to Istanbul, if they don't, we won't.
