[ad_pod ]Aston Villa supporters were able to taste derby day victory on Sunday but their attentions now turn to Nottingham Forest, with a host of the Villa Park faithful on Twitter calling for John McGinn to start.McGinn was hugely influential for Villa during the Second City derby at the weekend, coming off the bench after the hour-mark at 0-0 to make a real impact as his side went on to beat their bitter rivals 1-0.The Scotsman only played 27 minutes but such was his influence during the game – and indeed throughout this season – that Villa fans are urging manager Dean Smith to name him on the team-sheet on Wednesday evening.A key theme among the reaction sees supporters claim that Glenn Whelan should be rested to make way for the Scot.24-year-old McGinn arrived in the summer of 2018 from Hibernian and has caught the eye in the Championship, claiming seven assists in 30 starts.
The 5 foot 10 Glaswegian had missed two games through suspension prior to the win over Birmingham, but Villa fans think he should now come straight back into the starting XI.
When the two clubs last met, they drew an incredible game 5-5 back in November, a match which the club’s number seven played 79 minutes in.
Here’s what supporters of the Villans have been saying.
