Forest v Villa post-match

[Percy McCarthy]

Moreno can’t be fit, on form he would have ripped them apart given the space Digne found himself in.

[Somniloquism]

Worrying that if we let in an early goal, we seemed to be guaranteed a loss. Also worrying we seem to let in goals within the first few minutes of the second half. Why is that? Does whatever Emery say at half time cause confusion? Does the opposition manager make a change that counteracts Emery? Does Emery make a sly change that causes us to be more open? Whatever is happening, Emery needs to get on top of it.

I has a bad feeling at ko and it never got any better.

The thickest of lines needs to be drawn under this.

Just off it today. Martinez throwing in their second killed us. Camped in their half all second half but bar the horrible Watkins miss we didnt have too many genuine chances. Final ball from Digne especially was horrible when well placed. Bailey was rubbish when he came on. Logic with last two subs I didnt get. Our CBs were ok but that aside no one up to par.

[Toronto Villa]

I expect Emery to say it like it is. And I am sure he will work overtime with the players to remedy this. The players are in for a tough week with two key games coming up.

[PeterWithesShin]

Twice we gave their player the freedom of Nottingham on the edge of the box to twat one goalwards, second time the best keeper in the world slaps at it in a way that Olsen would be slaughtered for. When you gift 2 goals then you need your forwards to be on it, and they were far from it.

Still, i'd have taken 5th and 16 points from the last 7 games. Need to put things right next weekend.

[BC Villain]

Terrible performance.  Specially Zaniola and Cash, who were abysmal. 

[Deano's Mullet]

Rubbish performance but everyone has them and we were due one. We move on.

[Risso]

Fucking dreadful from start to finish.

[SoccerHQ]

We just weren't good enough today in both boxes. It happens.

Beat Fulham and 25 points from first 12 is still an excellent start.

I think we need to start mixing the team up a little. Seems UE has his fixed prem 11 but I was amazed Bailey didn't start today.

Kamara, Luiz and Digne all on 4 yellows so we'll be seeing changes to our regular starters soon enough. Would be a bit of a disaster if we lose two of those for Spurs away so think we'll go full strength for Alkmaar and then mix and match for Fulham.

[Clampy]

Nowhere near it today but we're going to get these now and again.

[andyh]

About 80% possession.
What’s the point when you don’t do anything with it.
Their new goalie had a good game, but we made it a dream debut for him.
I don’t he actually made any decent saves, just loads of catches.

[pablo_picasso]

That was dog-shit.

Had to happen against one of the worst sides in the league too.

One thing I don't understand from the first half was the way we kept trying to push the ball out to Digne so he could cross the ball in.

Fair enough.

But in doing that, Cash had the ball in the right hand side at least 7 or 8 times in a position to cross, & he did a prime Shawn Maloney impression by stopping the ball, cutting back & passing the ball backwards.

And then the ball went across the pitch for Digne to cross in.

What the actual fuck was Cash doing getting so far forward if he wasn't prepared to put the ball in the box?

And what the fuck were we doing 2-0 down with ten minutes to go, walking around passing the ball between the back four?

Where was the fucking urgency?

Not going to lie, that game has really pissed me off.

Fucking furious...

[Pete3206]

There seems to be no plan B when we go behind. Approaching 90 mins with 6 minutes to add on, we're pissing about playing short passes that are nowhere near the Forest box.

Poor.

[Percy McCarthy]

I’m fully on board with playing out from the back but can’t we do the side ways stuff a bit quicker when we’re up against the clock?
