Forest v Villa - Match Thread

[Axl Rose]

Great strike by Kodjia. Apart from that, Forest look far superior to our rabble. We don't make space, can't pass, and so on. The list is endless. I don't like Bruce as a manager-his tactics are archaic. It's going to become a pressure oven for him soon unless results change.

We have some decent players now. God only knows what they coach them to do in training.

[CJ]

Even when they had a lot of possession we had Hogan run on goal, a Kodjia shot which their keeper spilled, scored a goal and could/should have had a second, but we have been absolutely shocking in possession - constantly giving it away ending with gifting them a goal. Will it ever change?

[Holtemeister]

And here we have our problem ... mental fragility just what the Dr denied we had a problem with.

As soon as we concede you can smell the fear from our lot ... and it becomes a car crash.  Just like it was last season just a division lower.

We will need a 6 or 7 match winning run to flush this through

 

[Axl Rose]

Elphick is shocking.  He's missed 2 absolute sitters and is massively dodgy at the back. 

Absolutely mate. The ball seems to be a hot potato for him whenever he has it, and his distribution is appalling.

[pauliewalnuts]

Forest have looked fucking awful.

Not a problem, though, when playing us, there's always a random gift knocking about somewhere.

Does anyone have any doubt whatsoever regarding what is going to happen in the second half?

[dorsetvillian]

We are simply not working hard to close down when out of possession. Surely Bruce and the players must have seen a tape of the Brentford game
and seen this was just not acceptable even when playing badly. Drives me crazy!

[frank black]

How many keeper error goals this year? Gollini would be better, as he had used his quota this season

Bunn is better than Johnstone. Gollini is much better than both of them.

Bad news I'm afraid, Bunns worse than all of em. Old mother Hubbards cupboard I'm afraid

[Loxton01]

I would love to know how many times we lost the ball and gave away possession staggering.

Good goal but kodija needs to stop being so greedy.

Another gift of a goal. Johnstone is no better than what we had.

They need more composure and more work ethic second half and the chances will come!

Work together as a team villa pass the ball move for your player do the ruddy basics

[nick harper]

I'm tired of seeing us let teams knock it around. Forest are a poor side but we stand off - no pressure on the ball and let them play themselves into the game. We need to be much more intense around the pitch.

[Ads]

What game you watching? They've done fuck all.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Can't understand why we're letting the forest back four knock it around at leisure

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

If 5-3-2 is the formation he wants, fine, play that way for a good succession of games. But don't play Thor there. That's just playing a player because you bought him.

I know it's only a few games, but is this GK really any better than what we had?

[Deano's Mullet]

I thought we'd done ok, gutted by the equaliser, such a typical goal to give away from Villa. Hogan and Kodjia look sharp, midfield ok, Bjarneson or whatever his name is looks out of sorts at left back and Les said about goalie the better. Gutted, can't believe they are level.

Forest far superior? No chance from I have bee watching.

[LukeJames]

Its still not great BUT we do look like scoring when we go forward, ill take that for starters.
