    Great result. It’s all happening pretty fast…

    It’s got to be damage limitation at Villa. Hopefully CHO is ok for Saturday? Hope Aina and Anderson aren’t crock. Moreno will be ineligible so will be go to a back 3? I thought Taiwo and Danilo were both really ineffective. Sangare looked alright briefly and Sosa was tidy.

    Back three doesn’t solve the full back problem - don’t see any of our winger as wing backs - so it’ll have to be Toff. At least he’s well rested.

    Just seen a clip of Anderson dancing in the dressing room after the game, so guessing he's ok.

    I thought he just looked exhausted. There was definitely a pair of crutches next to Aina’s seat - I suppose the optimistic view would be that at least he wasn’t using them.

    Dominguez at right wing back on Saturday? Not sure what other options we have.

    It'll be Toff at LB and Neco at RB, with Murillo and Milenkovic I expect.

    I wonder if Eric is close, given his athleticism. He could do wing back.

    Of course. I’m jumping ahead to the semi final. One game at a time des…

    Emily Anderson loves saying that on the podcast. It's quite annoying.

    That was my assumption when he went off - he was on of the ones who played 2 hours on Saturday - but there seemed to be some speculation above that he was injured. Clearly we've decided he doesn't need his minutes managed as much as the start of the season when he wasn't playing past the 70th minute.

    Anderson's a fantastic player with a high talent ceiling. I saw clip from a podcast Henry Winter did after the cup weekend where he singled out him and Adam Wharton as future full England internationals.

    He said Anderson ought to be called up to the next squad based on the progress he's made this season. But then, of course, Jordan Henderson.

    As MGW didn’t originally get in and then got no minutes, there is no way Anderson is getting a call up.

    Btw, I think it must be time spent with Darren Fletcher, but Ally McCoist seems to be becoming a bit of a Forest fan! He was loving us last night.

    Think there's an factor where we've given pundits something different to talk about and they are all grateful. And anyone can appreciate the endeavour and moments of brilliance.

    If we were midtable, the discourse would be trying to get some interest out of Fulham and Brighton trying to get into the champions league, while no-one believed it was going to happen.

    If you are going to post about McCoist, please use the appropriate terminology. See preceding pages for examples.

    “I’ll tell you what Fletch, I loving watching this Forest side. I really do. You’ve got to hand it to them, they managed this game superbly. They absolutely have”

    I'm quite surprised that people listen to the commentary on the TV coverage. Personally I like to turn down the volume and listen to partridge, or find something foreign that I only understand when they shout 'goal'.

    It's something that I don't have to hear, to know that it's shit....and I don't imagine for a moment that they are going to tell me anything useful that I can't see for myself. And no, stupid stats are not something useful.

    For me Jim's GOT to do better there, he's got to. Right enough. And I'll love it when he does to be honest.
