Nine goals in the space of four days
Work in progress.

Well we wanted to be entertained! Seems we have that.
Seriously can’t complain. We already know we have shortcomings in defence, and the best way to deal with that is attack, which we did.
Great game - typically I was too ill to go! (& I am virtually never ill!)

I’m going to be positive here, 26 shots at goal at home, we are definitely on the right track and Dean is the man. The bottom line is that you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear with the appalling defensive players he’s inherited, especially the goalkeeper who should never wear a Villa shirt again, but I can’t help thinking Jedi I’m front of them might just get us through to January

Couldn't enjoy a minute of that. Everytime we did do something positive we were deflated again pretty quickly. On top second half but they score long range stunner and our keeper fucked up for last one. We just weren't fated to win tonight and I feel like I did after the Preston game. Lethal going forward but lacking cover at the back. Oh well at least we didn't lose.

That's entertainment....but it's not goalkeeping.

Yeah, like lights going out and a kick in the balls.

Why oh why did we stop playing at 5-4 up as if the game was done and dusted??

Sam attitude almost cost us against Blues

So much to be positive about but so much work to be done and most of that cannot start until Jan.
But we wanted entertainment and we're getting it.

I spoke to my old man this afternoon and suggested he watch the Villa/Forest game on the red button on SKY. He grumpily replied "I can't be doing with all this red button crap". I will remind him of that decision tomorrow.

I used to be a regular on here, but haven’t now for a while because, to be honest, the comments on here are laughable.

We’ve just seen a match finish 5-5 and was really entertaining. Rather than discuss the fantastic attacking play, the majority focus on everything negative. Just enjoy the good things for a change and stop whinging and moaning - things aren’t that bad!

Not that anyone cares, but I think this will be my last visit to this site. 👋

Just looked at the stats, Forest only had 5 shots on target.......

Don’t take any notice of that - the stats I saw said we had only 4 on target on Sunday & even I could count more than 4.

Many of us have spent years saying how fucking boring we are, especially under Bruce, 16 goals in 2 games at VP and they still don't enjoy it. Bloody hell.

Embarrassing to be honest. A comedy game showing up every weakness we have in all its glory especially that absolute fucking liability Nyland. Get rid fucking sharpish and take the piss with a bid for Johnstone on Jan 1.
Abraham and Grabban are a class apart from the rest of this league, the rest of our shower of shit can fuck right off especially that invisible twat Hourihane.
A bit harsh. Can't we pursuade JT to get his kit on for a few games?

Also how on earth was there only 5 minutes injury time? That was a fucking joke. Should have been at least 7. Add to that the ref blowing up bang on the 5 minutes despite their GK timewasting for about a minute.
