Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa Match Thread

Went a bit flat after Terry hit the bar and they came back into it.  We still looked pretty comfortable though. 

Whelan off at half time and Bjarnason on.  Looks like he’s lining up as the defensive midfielder which is a bit of a concern.

Nick one on the break, shut up shop, game over, big smiles

Just about hung on to go in one up

Really?  Sam's had most to do.

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.

They've had lion share possession in most games this season. Hasn't done them much good to now.

To be meaningful, the stats need to show possession in attacking half or the defending half. Knocking the ball about in you own half doesn't mean very much. I find shots on target the most useful stat

[Toronto Villa]

Bjarnasson on for Whelan.

A good move if they use him as he’s meant to be as a more attacking midfielder. Not so sure if takes Whelan’s role.

Managed to get a stream via Facebook with somebody called Callum holding a phone in front of his TV. Great image but the lad hasn't stopped talking all through the game. Highlight of the half was his man-love for John Terry..

"Cor..look at Terry, he's so strong, he really dominates, I'd let him dominate me. Oh yeah, I'd surrender to him and let him dominate me. COME ON JT, DOMINATE ME! DOMINATE ME! DOMINATE ME!"

Mrs RCF who normally leaves me alone to watch and suffer the Villa in peace is for the first time watching a Villa game, pissing herself laughing at this mad Villa fan. The other highlight was when he let rip a fart and blamed the dog. The things we go through to watch the boys.

Oh and we need to step it up 2nd half, we're playing far too deep. Albert especially.

good effort snoddy

[CJ]

Good pressing by Snodgrass

[SoccerHQ]

Nearly a second there, good save from Smith.

[Toronto Villa]

Snoddy almost winning a penno. Just outside the box.

[achilles]

Why didn't we replace Whelan for Onomah. Bjarnasson doesn't make sense to me.

[SoccerHQ]

Think your feed is still on the Peterbrough game Toronto...(wink)

[CJ]

Great shot, brilliant save

[Martyn Smith]

Glenn injured which might explain that first half performance. Interesting replacement...

[JUAN PABLO]

another good effort
