5-5

 

[Harvey]

Villa are top 3 in the form table

Highly unlikely we'll get anything from this

 

[Master Yates]

Villa are flying. I can only see a home win unfortunately

Villa 4-1 Forest.

 

[Trents]

Somehow getting worse and worse away from home. Nothing changing. Expecting little from this.

I'd rather see us go down swinging though.

We desperately need to shithouse a result in this one. Even if it's ugly, we need to go back to what we were doing after the Leicester defeat. I know we need wins but we need to become hard to beat again too.

 

[I'm Red Till Dead]

Ok so voting Lose in the hope that it inspires Forest to win seems to have stopped working so this time I'm going for the 4+ goal win in the hope that it will inspire them to win this time!

 

[Ian Storey Moore]

Noting for us (again) but everything crossed I’m wrong.

 

[JohhnyM]

Couldn’t beat them at home with Gerrard in charge, so getting something away with Emery at the helm is quite the challenge right now.

Got a ticket though, so shall go there in full voice and full of hope.

Could be our last visit to VP for quite a while until we go on some mad FA Cup run and get to a semi final…

Problem is we're not nasty or streetwise enough to even shithouse a result.

 

[Omar Devone Little]

Genuinely would be surprised if we only lose by a couple here.

They're flying and this could get very messy.

 

[Long Rodney]

Just play Yates, even if his shoulder is strapped up.

I know it won't happen but I stand by the idea of playing Danilo as a #10 away from home

 

[valspoodle]

I like the thought of really going for it, shit or bust.

The game is probably up now so there is nothing to lose.

Put out an attacking team, go for it from the off and really try to upset them early doors.

Why not give it a go, It’s not like anything else is working.

He looked great for the 12 minutes we played some football last night.

I highly doubt Coops will drop MGW because on his day he's a game changer and he's fully invested in him, the problem seems to be that MGW struggles to have any real impact in games where the opposition deny him space to work in (which is most teams in this division, even more so when we're away from home)

Danilo might be slightly less composed on the ball but he's progressive and seems to link up well with the forwards around him, he also has the legs and work rate to initiate our press higher up the pitch and hunt down the ball without having to play in a more passive defensive role with a lot of positional responsibility (seems to be his main weakness currently)

I doubt it will happen but in theory I feel like it solves more problems than it creates

We've been top of the form table even with our away form. So nothing to be scared of here. Still 11 v 11 and our players are no worse than theirs.
