Nottingham Forest v Aston Villa Match Thread

Tepid shite

[PaulWinch again]

It’s like there is genuinely no attacking plan. The midfield have been absolutely dreadful.

[cdbearsfan]

Young is now our oldest PL goal scorer, our previous oldest was Peter Schmeichel.

Schmeichel still has the record by 243 days.

[BC Villain]

These are there for the taking, but we don't seem to have much inclination to do so. Irritating two-one loss with a scruffy 87th minute winner.

Forest probably think the same about is though

[gpbarr]

Dire. Utterly predictable. When is this chancer going to get his marching orders!

[Legion]

Archer on for the completely ineffective Watkins at HT? Nah.

[Vegas]

We have no tactics. Watkins, Coutinho, McGinn doing very little going forward.

Young easily our best player, Cash OK apart from final ball. Ramsey OK too.

But we’re so blunt and boring. Leicester - in the relegation places - put 4 past these and could have had 6.

[Ian.]

Archer on for the completely ineffective Watkins at HT? Nah.

Or play them together?

[ozzjim]

I would have him on for Coutinho Lee. We have no movement at all, Watkins at least putting himself about a bit. Coutinho utterly lost.

[Legion]

Taking Coutinho or Buendia off?

[Toronto Villa]

Having two midfielders yet again operate as wingers and then having three CM entirely exposed not only is shit for our attacking intent but gets us every time on the counter. It just doesn’t work and yet we eliminate the creativity of Buendia and Coutinho by playing this way. I fully expect Buendia to come off soon replaced by Ings. It will be just that predictable.

[Ian.]

It’s a physical game, lots of shit you swing from both sides. It’s like a relegation scrap.

[saint13]

For the third game in a row this is just two really poor teams playing really badly

I just said the same to my Mrs. Three weeks running...utter dross served up by four teams who are sure to be in the relegation mire.

[kippaxvilla2]

Lamberkesque style.  At least he had the excuse of no money to spend.

[tomd2103]

They are really poor, but a bit like the Leeds game, we just seem to be content to just through the motions moving the ball at a really slow tempo.
