Forest 1 v Aston Villa 1 Post Match Dirge Thread.

[Matt C]

For once I agree with Gerrard - we do need more quality. We need it in the coaching department. ASAP.

[Villafirst]

That was abysmal to watch. The writing was on the wall in the first game at Bournemouth, and he had Carlos and Kamara playing then. The board need to act fast, but will they?

[PaulTheVillan]

I’m hearing our set piece coach has had his hair cut.

He would now go unnoticed in here as a miserable middle aged clone

[sid1964]

A shocking game of football - we are amongst a batch of 6 teams that could go down

Their goal, Mings let his man step a foot away from him to head the ball in the net

Apart from Young's goal which was an excellent shot, there was nothing else!!

Hoping that the owners act before we get dragged into the bottom 3

Forest are currently the worst team in the division. I’m not sure there are 2 other worse teams and I wouldn’t rule out forest improving either.
With our failure to pick up points from the relatively easy games we’ve had so far I can see us getting dragged into another relegation scrap which is ridiculous with the squad we’ve got.

[PaulTheVillan]

Ryan Yates. What an absolute shit house.

Sign him up.

[ChicagoLion]

EMI 6 not much to do.
Cash 4
Konsa 5
Mings 4 goal down to him
Young7 the only decent performance out there.
Mcginn 4
Luiz 5
Ramsey 5
Coutinho 4
Buendia 5
Watkins4
Ings 1 totally pointless

It was a great opportunity to go 9th in the table last night,facing bottom of the table forest and as expected we messed it up.

I'm not even angry anymore just bored of it.

It's the hyped up talk from the club that does it for me,false hope of a 'journey' and European football. It's literally all talk.

[Mister E]

The owners have not shown they are not interested. The plan was to spend and then become self sufficient bringing through the youngsters from an academy they’v chucked millions at. We’ve gone out and got the likes of Coutinho, Buendia, Kamara, Carlos, Ings and Digne. None are bad players and we should’ve improved but we’ve gone backwards. We still have a weak central midfield but unbelievable we can’t score. That for me is a coaching issue.
The owners will rightly ask what’s going on as well and I’d expect them to act swiftly over the next few days.

Agreed.

[Mister E]

There were moments in the 2nd half that summed things up for me -
(i) Watkins was given an 'out' ball with which he did well, breaking on the right side. When he got about 35 yards out, he looked for support in the middle of the park where there were acres of open space - no Villa player was anywhere near, and Watkins got crowded out;
(ii) A Villa attack on the left was made, quickly and with incision, until it reached McGinn who scooped up the ball toward the goal to no one in particular ... he had all the time in the world to take a touch and then shoot.

We looked unfit and the decision-making on the pitch looks terrible. There appears to be absolutely no understanding  between the players, no idea of what their roles are, no link-up play between defence and midfield, no link-up play between midfield and our 1 forward.
Gerrard has to go, it's terrible. Coutinho sums him up - lacklustre and ineffective.

[Drummond]

Oh for a substitute like Traore last night. When you looked at our bench there was just nothing there that made you think it could turn a game around or add much. (Barring Archer but I don't see him in that role, yet).

[darren woolley]

It wasn't very good I was there to see it and I'm disappointed coming away from a Villa game again after playing like that.

[Clampy]

Oh for a substitute like Traore last night. When you looked at our bench there was just nothing there that made you think it could turn a game around or add much. (Barring Archer but I don't see him in that role, yet).

It's probably why we went after Sarr so it's a shame that fell through for whatever reason.

[PeterWithe]

On the bright side its only normally every 10 games or so you get a piece of Sunday League play so bad it actually makes you laugh in disbelief, yesterday we had McGinns and Archers headers in the same half.

Just a lack of effort to support the lone striker. Poor.

[Axl Rose]

Tried to start watching a rerun of the game at lunch time as missed it last night.

I'd had enough after 14 minutes.

What are our players doing? They weren't very good last season for both Smith and Gerrard.

They're even worse now. Not even the slightest hint of excitement.

A resounding boooooooo for both players and management.
