Aston Villa - Nottingham Forest

With Aina injured the next man up (for me) is Moreira.
Promising youngsters all have to be given their chance. I'm not going to write him off before he's been given a chance.
It is of course a risk. But I'd rather take it now against Villa than in Semi-final.

Next man up is 100% Toff.
Moreira hasn’t made the bench for the recent cup games where Toff did.

Whispers that Taiwo not fit for tomorrow.
Also Eric Moreira not fit.
Bench will be interesting then as will need to have Abbott plus another player from the B team if that is correct.

If that is indeed true, get him gone in the summer. Made of biscuits..I know injuries can't be helped but his record is ridiculous.

I think we need to let the medical staff do their jobs by assessing the players as they know best.

I am sure Nuno listens to them and takes their advice before naming his team.

But the danger of injury will always be there no matter what.

Completely agree but with the likes of Aina and Wood there is only so much the medical team can foresee. 

The danger of injury exists but there’s an element of control on our part as to how much we test that.

No chance. 

Toffolo is next man up, or maybe even Morato at left back, both ahead of Moreira. 

We saw at Exeter which one is more ready for these games.

Coming back, but apparantly won’t be involved tomorrow.
