Popular Post VillaChris Posted April 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2023 I mean is there any point in Forest turning up with @TheAuthority starting preview game threads at the business end of the season? Should just take the 3-0 loss now. This should be a banker win whatever form we're in. Forest have taken about six away points all season and just lost a massive six pointer to Leeds after leading. Who knows if Steve Cooper will even be in the Trinty dugout. Think the greek guy might pull the trigger after that. Only danger is Johnson so personally I'd bring Chambers in just to freshen things up as Young was really feeling it tonight. 3-1 win. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love Ashley Young he looked a little tired tonight....needs a rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson is their big danger man so we need to shut him down wherever he is on the pitch and can still mean Moreno can get forward down the other side. Him and Buendia really starting to link up well so that's a big positive for the run in they're getting a solid game understanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Go again - same team unless Kamara is ready to come in for Bailey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Cooper likely to be sacked before we play them. Another risk of playing a team with a new manager bounce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStagMan Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Come on Villa. Need to make sure we are on it for this one. No complacency. Everyone down there is fighting like rats in a sack. If we keep our focus and composure, 3-0 to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt they would have a new manager in place for Saturday. Think it could work in our favour to be honest - Cooper a good manager and worked wonders for them to be honest.

mottaloo Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Forest are not total mugs and need to be respected. If we are 0-0 at halftime, then so be it. I have patience. I just want the 3 points, be they gained ugly or emphatically. Its all about the points. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worry ( as always with Villa - built in mechanism ) Forest have obviously had a scatter gun approach with signing players and it hasn’t quite come together but they’ll rock up here and you just know they’ll click. Respected yes but table doesn’t lie either. They are were they are thus they can be got at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Davkaus Posted April 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2023 Every game is massive now. On paper, a Villa win, and on the same day Spurs play Brighton and Newcastle play Brentford, so some teams around or above us are dropping points, it's a win for us no matter what happens in those games, so we need to make it count. Absolutely ludicrous that we're doing so well now I'd be a little disappointed if we miss out on 7th when it was utter fantasy a month ago. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted April 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5, 2023 Proper shite these. The floodgates will open again but more like 8-2 than 5-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respected yes but table doesn’t lie either. They are were they are thus they can be got at. Yes, agreed. They give it a go but can be a bit näive so I am totally happy with picking them off as and when. Leicester wasn't the best performance I am told and although i didn't see it, I wonder if we were dragged down to their level at times ? I just want us to maintain our levels of style as much as possible and play the Emery way. UTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosnichs Muller corner Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I know it's only one shot but does Bertie deserve more game time over say Bailey? Or does Unai trust Bailey to deliver his instructions; I thought Ash probably needed more help especially in the first half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I'd snap your hand off for a 1-0 'boring' win right now if offered. However, I'd love to stick 5/6 past this lot. Not because I dislike Forest, but because it sends a message to the teams around us and continues our momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Tricky game this. We have momentum but have just battled to two well fought victories so the players must be feeling it a bit. Hope we are up for it, I really want to see a super convincing performance, dominate the ball and get the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our form is phenomenal, but there is always a "Leicester at Home" or a "stevenage" result around the corner. We cannot take anything for granted in this league. They have still won 6 games, so they are capable of winning, and we must take that in to the game...sure they have won 1 away, but that 1 could be against us to make it 2. we can have a bad day, or they can have a good one......stay humble. Its fine to be confident, but lets not get ahead of ourselves, there maybe a few bumps ahead yet. Edited April 5, 2023 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
