Just home.  I will take scratchy wins all day long.  Three things.  We have to put our chances away, not squander them.  I am underwhelmed by Snodgrass.  If that had been Chelsea in the 20 minutes after half time Terry would have e been going mental at the defence.  He wants to be nice.  We want/need Mr Nasty.

played with three wingers and did we get a decent delivery in?

Snodgrass couldn't find a Villa shirt and his tackling prowess is weaker than Lansbury and that's something.

I couldn't understand taking Davis off, he was giving Mills a tough time and then Kodjia ?

I would have replaced Whelan with Onomah.

Not sure what Elmohamedy was giving us.....Hutton actually got in a couple of convincing tackles.

I thought we are easily bullied out when we have so many players who pretend to tackle rather than do the real thing.

Forest are lucky Terry doesnt dive or go down easy. His shirt was pulled badly in the box the first half. Could have got a penalty if he had gone down.

Need to hold onto the ball better to have long term success, but good to win.

How poor was Neil Taylor today he's not comfy on the ball
The player most comfy on the ball is John Terry. He plays more forward passes and is quicker on the ball than Whelan.

You like the most racist of our players? Quelle surprise!

Anybody who uses the word "comfy" should be barred by the moderators.  How hard is it to write comfortable?

He was making an observation. Was there really any need for that on this thread?

It's a fact John terry head and tails above anyone else in the team like his persona or not

If you start judging players by their lifestyle then you would end up with a squad of Ashley Westwoods

And Neil Taylor on the back of Barnsley away and today would struggle to get into a Sunday league team. Can only tell you as it is on the tin

Terry hardly says a word during the game, unlike his chelsea days. That said he can pass a ball and rarely gives possession away.

Better.

Thought we were on the front foot more than Forest in the first half - even if they did see more of the ball.

Felt like we had more intent.

A bit patchy second half, but aside from SJ's save in the last 10 minutes, I don't think Forest offered a whole lot.

We showed good game management in the four minutes + injury time. Playing most of the Football in Forest's half.

If we had turned in a few more performances like today and Barnsley over the last 12 months, the speculation about Bruce's job wouldn't be so intense. That's on him though, as he has served up rubbish, for the most part.

Absolutely.

Think we look a solid outfit with threat, and that threat will increase as they play together.

I think we've got a chance, which I didn't a few weeks back after Cardiff.

It's too easy for him he could without any pressure still play for a top team in the premiership

Thought he was talking all through the game today, might not have been screaming but saw him with Taylor, Snodgrass and Kodjia directing....what I don't see is him refereeing the games like he did at Chelsea
