Very interesting to see how Bruce goes about the play off final - we cannot play with shackles on and try to contain Fulham - we have the players to hurt them and must be prepared to attack them to - fulham will give us space to play as did wolves and Bristol city - it will hopefully be a great game with a great result for us . obviously we cannot go out all guns blazing but we cannot afford to sit too deep . two very good sides with extremely good offensive players - all about who performs on the day .

The stakes are so high for this game - delight or devastation - this time next week we will feel one or the other - all about what happens on the big occasion and hopefully Fulham May freeze on the big stage whereas we have a side packed with big game experience - I hope and pray the day will go our way .

Hopefully the pressure of a big Wembley occasion will affect Fulham - only 2 weeks ago they blew a golden chance to go up by being turned over by blues so the pressure can affect them - they haven’t been to Wembley for 43 years whereas many of our players have experienced Wembley finals . No doubt we will need to be at our best - bring it on !

Fulham’s first trip to Wembley in 43 yrs - let’s hope nerves play a part - we have the experience - it’s all to play for .

Hopefully Fulham will freeze on the big Wembley stage

Very enjoyable game to watch and both sides have impressed me .

Let’s hope derby see the job through tonight - should be a nervy affair. having seen how they struggled at home to Sunderland under pressure last home game the pressure will be cranked up several notches higher tonight , should be interesting to watch

probably the closest comparison to leicester in my time was the 78 forest team with several so called has beens who came up and won the title at the 1st attempt and 2 European cups .

Not sure I’d agree we did anything like a leicester in 81 to be honest - Saunders had built the side up over the previous 6 seasons and we had been up around the top 6 in that time - leicester can up and just avoided the drop and then won the title under a new manager who nobody seemed to want at the time . what leicester did for me was quite incredible and I doubt will be seen again . id be happy to build in the premier league and aim to challenge the top 6 in maybe 5 years time . However the champions league clubs will only get richer and the gap will be very hard to close . sorry double post

Hamstrings are usually a few weeks - hopefully he will be in the World Cup but I’d be surprised if he’s fit for 2 weeks time .

Nope he’s injured

I wouldn’t want 3 strikers on the bench - 2 is enough , although Davis offers so,etching more physical and should be one of those 2

It’s true , pulis is a very limited manager and gets results playing ugly football hence the reason fans wanted him out at previous clubs - for him coming here already a goal down it’s a massive problem as he is not an advocate of adventurous football

Kodjia needs a rocket up his arse and to pull his finger out - anything less than 100% is unacceptable in a villa shirt -shape up or ship out , I appreciate he’s still finding his feet after a long lay off but no excuse for lack of commitment
