Not sure if Bakwa gets another chance or not.
Expecting Ndoye to start Europa League games as well.
I hope we see minimal changes now, we keep a settled sort of starting line up and players are rotated based on the stats back from game time and training.......those in need of rest are rested but if not, they keep going on to the next game.
At home, in a strong vein of form, Chelsea only on Monday.
I hope to see a full strength team take the field.
RE: Nottingham Forest - Aston Villa - Fumanchew - 29-04-2026
If we do start Jesus and wood and rest Morgan (I wouldn’t) I do wonder what Ndoye could do coming inside
I also wonder how taiwo and wood would work as this rotating two up front (though I know taiwo isn’t in the squad) could Lucca and wood work? Doesn’t seem like he’s favoured at all at the moment and was a dyche request to cross balls onto and nothing more
RE: Nottingham Forest - Aston Villa - The reds - 29-04-2026
Full strength side tomorrow.
Ortega, Aina, Milenkovic, Cunha, Williams, Anderson, Sangare, MGW, Hutchinson, Jesus, Wood.
Dominguez for Sangare in case he ain't fully fit.

We've got a bit of extra time to recover before the Chelsea game too.
It'd be great to go strong tomorrow, same again against Chelsea and secure another point or three meaning we can do so again for the Villa away leg.
RE: Nottingham Forest - Aston Villa - Salvatore Matrecano - 29-04-2026
Nottingham Forest boss Vítor Pereira on Murillo's return: "He's trying to come back as soon as possible but he's not ready now. I don't believe it will be long, maybe he can be back in a few days, we will see."
Nottingham Forest boss Vítor Pereira with his team news: "The medical team are working hard on Jair Cunha" but he doesn't know if he will be fit for the semi-final."
The boss was also asked for a fitness update on Dan Ndoye and Ibrahim Sangare: "It's normal to have some issues at this time of the season. We'll see tomorrow, they are trying to be ready."
RE: Nottingham Forest - Aston Villa - RyanR - 29-04-2026
We could really do with Sangare being fit. Villa have a good midfield, although Onana seems to be a doubt

I'm more concerned about centre-half. I wouldn't mind Dominguez or Yates replacing Sangare as much as I'd mind Morato starting instead of Cunha.

What a feeling it is waking up and its only matchday in a major European Cup semi final. My days its a pinch me moment when you think how far we have come.
Absolutely buzzing for tonight, bang up for it. The City Ground will be rocking tonight.
Good to see Jair training yesterday.

Indeed MR.
It's a special day and no matter what happens everyone should enjoy it and be proud.
RE: Nottingham Forest - Aston Villa - Salvatore Matrecano - 30-04-2026
A European semi final is something most clubs have never and will never achieve.
Its 42 years since our last one. It may never happen again. Of course 42 years ago we were robbed.
Lets give it everything and right a few wrongs along the way. Take it all in and remember the occasion.

Is it really 42 years ago since I and a couple of hundred others were rampaging through the streets of Brussels.
