Stan Collymore has given his take on Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest’s chances of winning promotion on social networking site Twitter.

Both Villa and Forest are aiming to finish in the top six of the Championship this season.

While the Villans are seventh in the league table at the moment wth 13 points from eight matches, Forest currently find themselves 11th in the standings with 11 points from eight games.

Former Villa and Forest striker Collymore has given his take on the Villans’ and the Reds’ chances of winning promotion on Twitter, raising question marks over their lack of consistency.

Both Villa and Forest have strong teams, but they are having issues with consistency and are unable to put together a run of positive results.

The positive for the Villans and the Reds is that they are still around the top-six position, and the season has only just started.

Villa and Forest are bound to get better in the coming weeks and months, and one should not be surprised if Steve Bruce’s side and Aitor Karanka’s team end up in the top six of the Championship next season.
