Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa post-match thread

[manic-road]

Three points thrown away, we controlled most of the game and once we went ahead some players folded as soon as the first bit of pressure was applied by Forest.

Cash has to be stronger on that second Forest goal.

[Brazilian Villain]

Very disappointing, hate losing to a last minute goal.

[Smirker]

We're still only 3 pts off top 4.

Could be 5 after tomorrow, but I still think we can qualify for the CL.

Badly need to sort the defence out though.

[CT Villan]

Ref/VAR were useless and cost us with two game-changing non-decisions.

That said, we were not good enough after we scored.

[ChicagoLion]

Shit defending, as per fucking usual. Maybe Emery will actually do something about it at some point. Twats.

The first thing would be at 1 0, make them more compact, the subs should have been there to get control but we lack backbone.

[VillaTim]

The centre of defence is a shambles .
Konsa isn't a RB
Cash isn't a midfielder.

Square pegs in round holes .

Forests bench much better than ours it seems. 

[PaulWinch again]

The thing about being in control of game only works if you win. If you lose it’s utterly meaningless- we look flat in attack and we’re still too easy to pressure.

We pay Monchi a kings ransom (I guess) and he can’t see that we need a top quality right back. He can’t find a top quality right back ?

We have left sided defenders coming out of our arse, but for some reason they don’t to give a fuck about the right side.

[Risso]

Emery completely outdone by Nuno.

[dorsetvillian]

In control at 1-0. Forest offering nothing and then we went to pieces. The players can't do the simple things at the back to control a game with 5 minutes to go. How many chances did we have to clear our lines before the winner, at least 3 or 4. That period of play sums up our season. Gutted...

[Matt C]

Crazy to lose the game from there.

[villadelph]

Emery completely outdone by Nuno.

ha, no.

[ROBBO]

Leadership is a problem, with Mings playing we win. What was Cash thinking, it was a game  and three points thrown away. As soon as they came at us after going behind our defence went to pieces. This was a time that making substitutions really unsettled us.

[adrenachrome]

Genuine question: what is the point of passing the ball around at the back when the opposition have zero interest in pressing?
