Forest v Villa - Match Thread

[saunders_heroes]

We need an experienced keeper who's over 30, I can't be doing with having a kid as number 1.

[Villa Lew]

Gotta get Scott into the game, one of the few times he has had the ball, he nearly scored a brilliant goal.

[saunders_heroes]

Every time we get the ball we just seem to hump it and hope we hit them on the break. Try and pass the bloody ball now and again.

[JUAN PABLO]

Forest looked wank until the goalie fecked up

now we have let them have a bit of confidence

Kodja needs to look up and pass and Elphick just isnt good enough

I thought we were comfy before the feck up of Johnstone .

great goal thou , now get out there and do these Villa .

[KevinGage]

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!

This. Fucking push up and take the game to Forest. The forwards are having to conjure their own chances.

It's a Steve Bruce away day. Play for the point, even when you lead.

[ROBBO]

The midfield is still not working whether it's because they are new to each other not sure. Kodja has to be more of a team player always does too much good goal though. We still have players that cannot make a simple pass to a teammate.

Two really poor teams. Are Forest really that threatening that we need to stand off them a mile? Piss poor to watch, keepers error was poor but we don't deserve anything playing that type of muck football.

As I posted earlier, on paper best team we've had for years....let's start to translate on the turf this half

[CT Villan]

Two really poor teams. Are Forest really that threatening that we need to stand off them a mile?

We do this every game, we start higher up the pitch and play brightly for 10 mins, then slowly collapse back towards our own goal and invite the opposition to attack us. We're not good enough to play this way.

[Axl Rose]

Their football knocking square balls 40 yards from goal. That's the adventurous, superior football?

They're shit. We need to drive at them as they're woeful at the back.

They were able to keep possession, pass it to their own players. That's better than how we played that half. They were always looking for something down our left and we were camped in our own half towards the end of that half. If Forest were shit, what were we?! I'm hoping for better football from us eventually.

Spot on as usual, Nelly. Hope you're well mate.

I love your passion though, Ads. I'm hoping it will infect me. Are you at the match? Hows our support been?

[jwarry]

Start doesnt bide well.  Still standing off 🙄

[supertom]

I struggle with the logic of shipping out an inexperienced keeper and replacing him with another inexperienced keeper. To be honest I thought Gollini looked, ricks aside, better.
That being said, we've spunked money relentlessly on every other position, particularly front men, but we really should have spent money on a good, experienced keeper.

We'll get nowhere near playoffs without a solid keeper. Someone who's been there and done it. That's not a kid. And that's not a perenniell 2nd/3rd choice like Bunn.

Another stupid free kick to give away

[Boz]

Villa seem to bring players who are delivering for another club and as soon as they get to B6/BMH they become very ordinary  or crap very quickly, must be the air, or a long line of poor managers.

[PaulWinch again]

Fucking hell what sort of decision is that from Elphick.

[CJ]

Elphick's a liability
