Aston Villa v Forest Post Match Thread.

[Sexual Ealing]

McGinn’s ability to turn his markers inside out and make space for himself was out of this world today.

McGinn is such a weird player. Every time I look at him he looks knackered, and his mistakes look much worse than other players', but he's regularly phenomenal.

He's also shut me the fuck up about playing in the middle. If anything we've looked better than we have done in the last few weeks with Kamara.

[Clampy]

Their goal just before half time made it a bit more arse squeakier than it should have been but I thought we were great overall.

[VillaTim]

Bailey MOTM followed closely by Watkins and McGinn.

[Steve67]

A good win particularly as we are still bringing players up to full pace with Tielemans much better today, Ramsey getting sharper, Torres getting minutes under his belt (crossed fingers).  Rogers getting a few minutes too.

What a season this is turning into.
To think that when we started the second half we had centre back choices 5 and 6 on the pitch and as a team we negotiated what could have been a difficult second 45 minutes.
I thoroughly enjoyed the last quarter as I thought we were so professional in our possession and game management.
And no VAR!

McGinn was very solid in the second half I thought. He helped us calm down after losing the two goals and then to close things out.

Strange game in many ways and some strange performances.

Cash did some very good work with his passing and crossing. And equally, some awful play with his defensive line and finishing.

Moreno and Ramsey the same with lurches between very good and bad.

Ollie was excellent yet again.

Likewise McGinn and Dougie.

Bailey absolutely superb. What a player he is now consistently showing he is week in week in. Some fantastic passing.

Torres probably (hopefully) just a precaution.

[Somniloquism]

Seems none of the highlights want to show Rogers chance at the end. Was it decent or a simple save at the end?

[Allan C]

Fabulous result made all the more sweeter with Man U losing. I love that the goals are shared around. It’s already been said but Bailey looks unstoppable when he’s on it, a player worth the entry money. Just superb

He should've done better.

He should've done better.

It wasn’t the easiest, but he did scuff it.

[PaulWinch again]

Have to get tighter in defence - corners particularly, but fantastic to see our cohesion going forward is back again.

I think his chance at Bramall Lane was easier but in both games he's coming on cold and full of nerves and adrenaline. Once he gets more minutes, he'll be calmer in those situations. Great that he's already taking-up dangerous positions.

We looked really sharp again in the first half.
