Forest v Villa Post Match Thread

[Drummond]

I strongly disagree with some suggestions earlier in this thread that we should drop Steer for one of our other keepers. He looks our most solid and reliable option to me at the moment.

Absolutely. Until he fucks up, keep him in. Even then, he's doing well enough.

[Legion]

Same here. There is no reason to drop him.

[Lastfootstamper]

There was a foul on him during the second-half - the one for which Milosevic picked up a booking - when he was completely scythed down running down the left-wing, and you can see a load of Forest fans in the front rows behind him jumping to the feet and shouting at him as though he'd dived. How he was supposed to stay on his feet I have absolutely no idea!

He bought that bravely. Players of lesser fibre would've let the defender concede the throw. Jack toed it past him, knowing there was a small chance he'd get away down the line, but a million times more likely he was going to get heavily clattered.

Bloke's fucking nails.

Jack clearly has developed a reputation that opposing fans don't like and they hate him so much all reality goes out of the window, when its bloody obvious on the tele he is being kicked to fuck!  Of course it doesn't help when opposing players scythe him down and then complain to the ref which seems to happening on a  frequent basis now.  This just winds opposing supported up even more.  The good thing is that Jack seems to have the temperament to rise above it all and just smile.  I'm gobsmacked he didn't even get a sniff at the England squad

Very true. His feet are just too quick for a lot of players in this division, so he is able to keep the ball just out of their reach. As a result, they often end up mullering him, even if they were honestly going for the ball.

Jack is the biggest thing in the Championship. A bit like Ronaldo was in the Premier League so no doubt he will be fouled constantly and picked upon by other fans. Goes with the territory.

Yes I noticed the same thing and thought what a bunch of brain dead ****** they were.

Glad we're coming back into form anyway, imagine how good we'd be with a couple of good wingers as well. Most of the time, the players we have there are like passengers and we've still managed 3 very impressive wins on the bounce despite that.

[Fred Crump]

Agree, Jarrod Bowen and Said Benrahma would do nicely....

[Hookeysmith]

As much as the first game had almost everything  give me low worry, everything accordingly to plan standard win like last night.
Their goal was a bit flukey and once we got deservedly in  front it was only a matter of how many we won by.

Well done Dean for the game plan
Well done the players for following it

I'd say two good full-backs as well, along with defensive midfielder.  I do realise that is almost half a team!!

We’ve had Bowen here already, released as a schoolboy.

[Fred Crump]

I didn’t know that. We can add him to the list of ones that got away, I guess

[PeterWithesShin]

I don't think he was released, as far as I know he had a trial when he was 10 and wasn't taken on.

Steer has been our best and most consistent goalkeeper this season and looks as though he actually has a little bit of bravery, which the other two definately don't have.
He's our number 1 as far as I'm concerned and fully deserved.

[DennisHodgetts]

He actually came off his line to punch a ball clear, the others do not seem to have that in their bag! Seize this great chance Jed, you have had to wait a very long time for it.
