It was the perfect night to abandon what we expect to be the Villa Way.

Great read Dave .  Looking across at the Forest fans I was so surprised how subdued they were from the start.  Saying that I dont think I have ever heard us that loud for that long

Tbf Forest were singing as I could see them jumping up and down and generally arm
Waving but we drowned them out.

Can I just say on our walk back into Nottingham last week and the Forest fans we spoke to were all obviously happy but the vast majority were “it’s only half time” and this will be difficult and very respectful of what they know we can do. I think it’s very easy to tar fan bases with the overexcitable chimps on Social media.

Good club Forest, if we’re going to get all down on our East Mercian cousins it’s far better to save your ire for Leicester.
