Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa post-match thread

[cdbearsfan]

They have a very late-90s Leicester vibe to them, and we seem to be similarly shit against them (away from home, at least). We played into their hands.

[VillaTim]

They targeted Konsa all game for a reason

[Jon Crofts]

Emery completely outdone by Nuno.

ha, no.

Err yes, our subs killed it, theirs won it.

[JUAN PABLO]

whens JJ back?   



saturday night ruined  and tomorrow and this week . .    Mings might have made a difference but surely we can see that game out  , why do we keeping doing it.

[Aldridge Villa]

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...

In a nutshell.

[RichardBatchelor]

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.

He was pushed over.

[The Edge]

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

Square pegs in round holes .

It's not just about the defence though. We have the ball on the edge of their box and Watkins has a simple pass on for Barkley. He completely messed it up. That was followed by another four times when we got the ball back only to give it away every time. Cash was involved in three of them. But the clear foul on Cash was the clincher.

[WRVilla]

Yes, Cash was fouled in the build up for their winner. Yes, the ref was bad all game but this is all getting a bit repetitive and predictable now.

We spurn way too many chances and if we keep conceding 2 goals a game we’ll finish the season behind the likes of Forest who aren’t a particularly talented team - they just try harder than us and that I just can’t accept.

[Villafirst]

Pity Mings pulled out with illness before the start. If he'd have played we would've been far stronger defensively. He's a leader and can organise the defence.

[villadelph]

Emery completely outdone by Nuno.

ha, no.

Err yes.

That failure came from between the lines.

[dorsetvillian]

Forest won it doesn't mean it was a Nuno master class.

[PaulWinch again]

Cash on the wing worked in the week because Leipzig were a mess. It absolutely kills our attacking shape against anyone vaguely competent in defence.

[RichardBatchelor]

We really need to stop dropping to the ground at every challenge and waiting for the whistle. Every single fucking game. All game today. Play to the whistle. Keep after the ball.
There were 2-3 challenges just before the one on Cash prior to their winner. Every time we just let Forest carry on hoping the ref would blow. He didn't.
Stop trying to fucking cheat and play the game.

Yes the Rogers penalty incident was arguably a foul but he could easily have kept on his feet and got a cross in. No, he falls to the ground and Forest retrieve it.

Really frustrating way to lose a game that we'd taken control in with the goal.

That's my biggest bugbear about todays game. It's one of the most annoying things we continue to do every single game too. Are other teams this bad? Because we don't tend to see the opponents doing this anywhere near as much as we do.

Rogers fell to the ground because he was pulled over. He can’t defy the laws of physics. It was outside the box initially but should have been a free kick to us. The ref let them get away with everything.

Never a foul in a million years

Cash was pushed over. Watch it again if you can. Blatant.
