Aston Villa v Nottingham Forest Match Thread.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Sorely lacking pace

[Matt Collins]

The Ayew bashing is ridiculous. It was his cross that gave Kodjia the header.

Absolutely ridiculous. Done a lot more than McCormack for example

[pauliewalnuts]

Forest are shit, we're playing ok, but we still won't win. Same as pretty much every other game so far this season.

Yes, I'd agree with that. We need to start to capitalise properly when we are in control of games.

It'd be nice if we could manage a decent second half, too.

[Tuscans]

Loving the Triad boss behind Brian Little.

I think the general complaint is that his final decision making isn't the best.

My issue is his finishing. He's had 2-3 decent chances and not hit the target. Hits the target happy days.

Savo.

I can literally hear the players shouting to each other

He just needs to hold his position a little more. Trouble is he wants to be in the middle. He comes inside and that forces RM to have to drop deep or shift to the left. Ayew's got to pick and choose his runs inside a bit more for the benefit of our shape and because he's got the ability to beat a man and cross it.
But he does look most likely to create something today, along with Jack.
I do think too that playing Grealish, RM and Ayew at once is not really working.

I must say Don Goodman is an extremely good summariser.

Which is a fair comment.

He's shit

I can't see what on earth he brings

These are not fair enough

I once went to watch the reserves play when we had Les Sealey in goal.

That was quite the experience in the "shouting player" department.

[Jimbo]

A dreary half of football in a dreary league.

[Chris Jameson]

I've had real trouble sleeping recently, usually wide awake at 3.00 am.

No problem dropping off this afternoon.

[PaulWinch again]

Right no more shit second halves. We need to build on first half promise and win this game. We need to win.

[Tuscans]

Be our shite 45 please.
