Aston Villa v Forest Post Match Thread.

[Somniloquism]

And then there’s Bailey. All my favourite Villa sides have had a brilliant winger, the early 80s with Morley then Walters, Daley in Taylors nearly champions in 89-90 and again in Rons 92-93 team and Little’s 95-96 team, Young in the O’Neil years. Bailey is so exciting to watch, the anticipation in the crowd when he gets the ball, its electric. His style is also interesting, he constantly looks like he’s about to fall over, but somehow shifts he’s body round. A joy to watch.

Someone put the Bailey about=to=fall=over move as being as unplayable a skill as getting passed McGinns arse.

Potentially the same lads? Real bubbly friendly group! If they’re on here, thanks!

I'm Villa, Kilkenny, bubbly, friendly and always on here. And I wasn't there

Few ocassions when JJ was able to turn centrally into space, largely because of the good positional movement and passing from Torres, McGinn and Dougie, and he was able to pick up a gallop. He's starting to flicker back into that devastating ball carrier that he can be.

If he can be hitting form now, then we'll be much more likely to get the ~6 wins from the last 12 we need. Man United will.need to win 3 more games than us, so if we hit the bare minimum of 6, they need 9.

There was a point in the second half where he received the ball on the halfway line. I'm not really a shouter when watching the game on a laptop with headphones in, in my Bulgarian bedroom. Anyway I shouted, quite loudly, "right, now open your fucking legs!" I don't think I've ever used that phrase before. My wife, in the next room, thought I was talking to her.

Safe to say that neither Ramsey nor my wife, opened their legs on that occasion.

Considering we allegedly have so many thousands on the waiting list, not that many seem bothered to actually come to a match. The last 2 home matches my brother has not been able to attend so, has given ticket back to Villa to sell. Surprise, surprise, no takers. Would love to know why we seem to be the only club that no longer give out our attendances.
Another whinge, can anyone else get onto the Villa match day Wi-Fi? I certainly can’t, it’s not fit for purpose.

On a laptop in your bedroom, and hearing that phrase she didn't assume you were enthusiastically giving instructions to an (ahem!) service provider?  I'd say that is a win.

Enjoyed finally getting to watch it back last night. It says something when you could pick any one of a half a dozen players as MOTM and make a fine case for any of them.

You get setbacks in any season and mentioned elsewhere in the thread, we’re conditioned to the setback being the end. This team and our problem solver of a manger are different though and the way they continue to roll with the punches and adapt is so impressive.

No the WiFi just doesn't work. In this day and age it's just ridiculous and unfortunately it is just one of several stadium shortcomings.

Fortunately the football has been excellent this season and yesterday's first half performance was one of the most consistently fluent I had seen this season.

They do not bother with the resale of ST tickets whilst there are any other seats available including those held back for the TerraceView and Lower Grounds.

Regarding the issue of tickets,is it possible that they would want to sell the terrace view or lower ground tickets first?,as for the wi-fi in the ground, what wi-fi

Me and the wife started watching Sex Education last night with Gillian Anderson and Asa Butterfield. That could well of been one of the scenes!

Not that I want to focus on negatives after a good win, but watching their first goal back, we completely switched off for that one.  Considering the box is so crowded, no-one got near the two Forest players who touched the ball.

I did think at the time from my view behind the goal and then.watching it back, that the ball actually might have gone out of play from that corner.

[Ian.]

I wonder if there is some negative psychology at play at the moment while defending corners. I must admit I felt Man Utd were going to score when they did and ever since I’ve felt we are vulnerable on every corner.

Over to the set piece specialists i believe

There’s WiFi in the ground? Never got it…in fact don’t even take phone in nowadays as never got any phone signal of any description
