viivvaa66 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Should be an other win. We have no midweek game, so we should be rested. I predict 4-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted October 30, 2023 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2023 This will be tougher than some seem to think. Forest have some decent players and at home they can be very awkward. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Tough game this. Forest at home are pretty solid. Same team again, but perhaps a Bailey in for Zaniolo. If we have aspirations of top 4 we need to win the next two with some very difficult fixtures coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted October 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 30, 2023 Won’t be an easy one, that being said their home form is currently one win in five this season (all competitions). Beat Sheffield United 2-1. Since then, lost to Burnley in the league cup, then three draws against Burnley (again), Brentford and Luton. Drew the fixture last year, pre Emery. A good chance to improve on it this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant be serious? Forest is a tough place to go. This will be a very tough game. Think you need to lower you expectations abit if you think we are gonna go their romp a win like that. I think on paper we should win but it will be tight. Maybe a 2-1 win. But i wouldnt bw suprised if ended a draw as forest are decent at home despite this seasons results Edited October 30, 2023 by Demitri_C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i wouldnt bw suprised if ended a draw as forest are decent at home despite this seasons results Based on the results they have been poor at home this season, they have played the three newly promoted teams at home and only managed to win against Sheffield United. If we have ambition to get into top 4, we need to win here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I get the feeling people rank Forest as Burnley or Luton standard. Have a look at how many prem matches they've actually lost at the City Ground in last 12 months, you'd be surprised. I think this will be a near identical game to Wolves. Local and they'll get in our faces and disrupt us at every opportunity and look to break quickly. I'd be fine with a 1-1 from this and can see it happening. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have ambition to get into top 4, we need to win here. Look at what they were doing end of last season, won v Brighton and Arsenal at City Ground. I actually see them as a Brentford standard side now given they won at Chelsea and got a 0-0 at Palace. All their other away games have been ridiculously tough so that's why they're only on 10 points although throwing away a 2-0 lead v Luton wasn't great at all. That said they are weak at the back with guys like McKenna and Worrall still regular starters so I'd expect Ollie and Diaby to expose that at some point. Bailey needs to start this game aswell. Again don't really understand the premier league fixture schedule, 10 games in and they've only played 4 homes?! Man. United and Chelsea have already played 6 games at home.

turvontour Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Going to be a tough one this. I think we'll get somewhere between 2 and 4 points. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongo Waring Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Is this really "going to be a tough one"? What makes people say this? They're in bad form. Not won in 6 games. If Brentford, Luton and Burnley can get a point at the City Ground, surely we can go there and take all 3? They also needed a 89th Minute winner to beat Sheffield United at the City Ground too. Liverpool 3 -0 Nottingham Forest Nottingham Forest 2 -2 Luton Town Crystal Palace 0 - 0 Nottingham Forest Nottingham Forest 1 -1 Brentford Manchester City 2 -0 Nottingham Forest Nottingham Forest 1 -1 Burnley Form: LDDDLD Edited October 30, 2023 by Pongo Waring 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United in the premier league at home. In that time they've been undefeated v us, Liverpool, Brentford (twice), Palace, Chelsea, Man. City, Arsenal and Brighton so some good teams in there. Of course we can go there and win but think we'll need to score first otherwise it will get as awkward as Wolves was where we only really looked like winning when they went down to 10 men in injury time. It's a bit like going up to Stoke in the early years when they had long unbeaten home runs and we struggled to win there under O'Neill when we had very good away form in those seasons.

zab6359 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I don’t get all the negativity, we are in the form of our lives and Forest have won once at home this season against the worst team in the league. I’ll accept losing away to a top 8 team but we should easily win this! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Won't be a cakewalk. But they have a hard time scoring, so I predict 2-0. He'll set up to not concede, so it might take a while to wear them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Will be favourites to win, and the way we're going we should. Definitely got an emotional buffer to this one though, wife and her family are from Nottingham, so if we're going to drop points a bit unexpectedly, rather it be against Forest than other sides. Not a popular statement and I'm sure people will tell me I'm doing football supporting 'wrong', but plan a a villa win is still the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
