Forest v Aston Villa, Sunday November 5th at 2pm

Freuler-Shelvey-Colback vs Mangala-Sangare-Dominguez is quite the difference.

Either team without a Ryan Yates in it is not a team at all.

Chicago: Shithousing.

Got round to watching this game. I'm a little concerned that the new keeper has the same terrible haircut as Dominguez. I hope this isn't becoming a thing.

It's a different terrible haircut, isn't it? Vlachodimos has it parted on the right, while Dominguez just has it brushed forward.

I see what you did there, you cheeky scamp.

I wonder if Vlachodimos cut his with pliers?

And I see what you did there.

Anyway, he looks (a bit) like Neville Longbottom from the Harry Potter movies who, it seems obligatory to mention, is a bit more ah developed these days.

I generally avoid other teams' forums these days, but I did just have a quick look at a Villa site and what a nice bunch of lads they are.

"Honestly, I'd put today down as three points won for Forest rather than three points dropped for Villa. Yes, Martinez fucked up for the second, but Forest defended for their lives today and we never looked like scoring. Another two hours of play and we probably wouldn't have scored unless we won a pen. They were fantastic and deserved the points."

"Hard to fault Forrest’s tactics, they has us dead to rights the whole way through. A lot of poor performances though, Cash was getting skinned left, right and centre and Dougie looked out of place"

"You could see what they wanted to do from the first minute and they played it perfectly. Thought Toffolo in particular was fantastic for them."

"Really, really good defensive display from Forest. I'd argue that any team outside of the Champions League spots would have struggled against that today. Yes, we took too many touches and yes, some of our shots were spooned over, but that's at least partly due to how few genuine opportunities Forest gave us. We had to try and score the perfect goal or to score from distance - today we just lacked the quality to do so. We'll be fine."

"Only our 3rd loss so far and we're into November. Also, it's Forest, great club."

Villa, best club in the West Midlands by far.

There’s been quite a bit of love between the two club’s fans recently. Since Matty Cash went there I reckon.
