Villa suffer their third consecutive Pontins League defeat, their fourth in six and now have just one win in nine since October.
As has been the case for so many opponents this season, Forest pack their reserve team with first-teamers, as Villa have a fully u21 line-up with five of their starters being youth team prospects.
