OLDVILLAIN Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Forest wont play a low block under nuno unlike cooper last time. They will play expansive and will try to get in behind us and they have the players to do that. It is not an easy game at all but i hope with the holte end buzzing we can overcome them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got his little replica kit out already bless him. He’s not quite 6 so I fully expect him to be bored within the first ten mins, but it’ll be worth it as long as he enjoys the chips and burger Very similar age to when I took my boys down for the first time, aged six and eight. They got bored very quickly and we had to leave 15 minutes before the end. The good news is they are now both season ticket holders and mad Villans so bear with it will all come good 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be able to hear the siren and see the flashing lights and everything. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuno is king of the low block. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m taking my phone so if all else fails he can watch Shaun the Sheep for a bit! But we’re going with his older cousin so hopefully that will help keep him occupied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvilla28 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 They have a front four to hurt us and pace. If we're sloppy and careless in defence and don't control the midfield we're in trouble. We need a complete performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted February 24 VT Supporter Share Posted February 24 (edited) First time going to Villa Park for me in a few years. Full disclosure, I was a season ticket holder between MON to Bruce and stopped my ST the season Smith got appointed. Most of the football I've seen at VP has been utter dross so if today goes badly, sorry! Edited February 24 by PieFacE 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Going to this match and hopeful we can get our home form from earlier in the season back on track. Would be a big 3 points if we can get them. UTV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
