Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa Match Thread

Snodgrass doesn't do enough work for me, more please Robert. Blinding cross mind.

I'm really surprised by the negativity.

Plenty of away games in which I could see what's coming to us e.g. Brentford a few weeks ago and it has. Today I think we've been largely fine.

Get the feeling last week is still clouding how people are viewing this game. We've played no worse than we did at Leeds or Bristol City for example.

Just about hung on to go in one up

Really?  Sam's had nowt to do.

Our away fans are terrible with songs. Why go and be miserable singing the same generic monotone rubbish every week?

Maybe go away if you can, and start some songs 😀

Exactly. At least they're there..

Singing is this a library?

Really poor ref, missed Clough dropping to the floor twice. Seems to want to be the star of the show.

Just want a second goal now to hopefully seal the deal.

Our 'tactics' away from home are a joke.

I don't think so at all.

We play too deep and invite pressure, hoof the ball at every opportunity, can't pass four yards to the nearest player in midfield, and the overall game plan seems to be 'try and nick a goal and backs to the wall to defend it.

Hi Steve.

Luckily Forest seem to have little in attack. Good job as we are incredibly sloppy, especially in midfield.

They scored 4 v Arsenal last week. Maybe we're defending well?

But it's all a bit last line isn't it? They are overrunning us in midfield.

Hogan was brave for that goal. Their keeper seemed to lack a bit of pluck 're the possible collision mind....

[clash city rocker]

Just get the result villa...we're half way there.

They’ve really had the lion’s share of the possession with little end result. You know that’s just what is being discussed in their dressing room at HT. All it takes is one good shot. We have to be much, much better if we are going to win this game.

Yep we are winning. I don't see the problem. For sure not the slickness and crispness of Bristol but forest are at home on the back of a big cup win a new manager.  I expect us to go through the gears if they equalise.  Also think they will tire

Let's remember we should be 2 up in any case with the Terry header.

This exactly.

Forest aren't that bad a side as we saw last week, just inconsistant. Hopefully they'll take points off Derby later on in the season.

If we were playing like this against Sunderland or Burton I would be worried.
