As much as I love Ashley Young he looked a little tired tonight....needs a rest. those long diagonal balls seem to be the go to tactic for many teams playing us......even Man U in the Carabao, bombarded us with long balls to Rashford. It seems to be a popular tactic to play against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I would too. Its One of the hardest things to stop in opponents is 1-0 wins.....its hard to put your finger on how to stop it, where as a 3/4 goal win is more specific in strategy.

MrBlack Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 3 hours ago, Bosnichs Muller corner said: 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 I wonder if it's a fitness thing with Traoré. Knowing he'll be less able to run around for even 60 minutes than Bailey, but then bring him on against tired legs and know his outrageous skill could turn a game around. I think he's been back long enough, and shown enough in his cameos to earn a start though. Traoré also has shown he's able to put a shift in and get back to defend. More so than Bailey I'd argue. But to be fair I'm not sure it's in their remit anyway. There's two lines of midfield between young and Bailey so he shouldn't really need to help out that much. The idea of bringing Bailey on against tired legs also isn't exactly a bad thing. Might help him have more confidence in beating his man. For me, I'd give Traore a start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Biggest goal margin in PL is 9 so we should be aiming for 10-0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 The Forest board has just put more pressure on Cooper, by giving him a vote of confidence and demanding instant improvement. I'd rather have that than face the bounce following a manager departure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leicester board knew he would lose to us so put him out of his misery . I think Marsch and Jones got sacked within a couple of weeks of us beating them as well.

romavillan Posted April 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5, 2023 Emery has to get their heads right, going to have to handle some expectations on us winning. Probably a nice problem to have but still we can't drop off on our new standards of work rate, movement, pressing etc. Get all the basics right, work hard and apply what Emery is trying to drum into them and we should be on for 3 points. Can't take anything for granted though, Forest have enough to beat us if we're off the boil. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll be giving it everything, we’ve finally got something to aim for, it’s going to be a battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Yes we cant take them lightly but they have scored 5 goals and conceded 34 away from home this season. We did a good job on Bournemouth last home game, now we need to do the same against these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 As always can't take any games for granted in this league, but of all teams to play to keep the run going you'd have picked Forest I think. Their away form has been dreadful all season, and they're at possibly their lowest point of the season now after not picking up a win in what was an alright run of fixtures for them before they now go into an awfully tough run-in. One of my mates is a season ticket holder there and is saying that confidence is pretty rock bottom going into this weekend. Normally Villa are the kind of team to help a club out in that situation but things feel an awful lot different now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Emi Young-Konsa-Mings-Moreno JJ-McGinn-Luiz-Buendia Bailey-Watkins 2-0 Villa. Pinch an early goal, nervy 60 minutes in between, get one in the last 15 to kill it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Having looked at villa match thread on their forum, their fans are all predicting a win for them. Am I missing something? Are their fans delusional? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlobalVillan Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 9 hours ago, Tayls said: Tricky game this. I think that in terms of PL games this is about the least "tricky" game we could possibly play. In amazing form, at home against a poor side in poor form whonare dreadful away. That doesn't mean that we will win. Just on paper we really should. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 They’ll be coming to VP to aim for a 0-0 draw. 11 players behind the ball. We’ll need to break their defence with a strong and varied attack, whilst watching out for a potential counter attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I know it's a cliche but that Dennis guy always does score past us. Scored home and away for Watford last season and got the Forest goal in the 1-1 in October. Had some good games v them over the years, that 5-5 in the championship was insane from start to finish. Think Cash scored for them that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
